Must admit having done the Diesel thing and played with LPG for the last 8 years, my views would be a half decent car with LPG .

On the GM V8 LPG thing, your probably find they will return a better MPG than any V6 Omega running gas.

See, it's funny... I've done diesel and had LPG cars for approaching 10 years now and I'm not sure I would go to the trouble of LPG on the next one :-\

I value the boot space and a tank, even in the wheel well, reduces that (if you want to have a spare) so I will probably go back to diesel when the time comes... Assuming I can find a car I actually like! Still not found a decent alternative to the Omega yet ::)

Although I'm likely to go back to a 4x4 so Rangie is likely.

Think its horses for course LD, and what the cars being used for, bombing around the Country on your own as a Sales Rep with an empty boot vs Engineer with an Estate full of tools and shite on board.  :-\

This is very true, for me boot space is not really a concern, we'll retain the Omega estate for carrying big stuff and if we do want to take the car on family holidays at some point in the future, I'll get hold of a roof box.
