should of bought a diesel
« on: 06 March 2008, 18:43:13 »
had my 2.5 just over a month now. i really do love it, the comfort, the luxury, got a good bit of poke if u bury the right foot  ::) ::). the only draw back i can find is the fuel consumption. since 30th of jan it has consumed just over 145 GALLONS of fuel. my old man keeps laughing at me and just loves reminding me how economical his 2.0 tdi honda crv is.  :-/ :-/

apparently loss of power is either very minimal or maybe none at all, i'll let you know when i get time to throw mine somewhere, mines a 3.0

the MPG drops slightly, but because of how cheap the fuel is, you get pretty much twice the mileage for your money

i have an 80L tank in mine, will fill it and set my trip meter and see what comes of it :y

i knew nothing about LPG systems, or what's considered a good price to have one professionally converted, but including being given a courtesy car i have a multipoint SGI fitted for £1250, call it £1276 if you include the petrol i used in the courtesy car!!

they gave me a 3.5litre Mitsubishi Pajero (shogun) that doesnt run on LPG!! havent used it much :D
