Hello

My Audi's got a 72 litre tank and I get about 200 miles to the tank, with the mileage I do it basically means I fill up every other day. If I can get nearer to 300 miles range with the biggest tank i can fit, I'd be happier. Also I rather my fuel bill wasn't any bigger than it currently is - I'm getting around 17mpg on lpg at the moment and I guess it'll do about 24 on petrol so it's going to be close but I think a Largo might just be cheaper to run.

I'm suprised that the diesels are so bad on fuel - 26mpg??? My old T4 was only a 1.9td 68 brake but you could get 35mpg out of that easily. If I go diesel, the mpg is whatever it does and the cost of diesel is £1-38 maybe, at least with petrol I've got the lpg option and the actual cost per mile WILL be less because lpg is about £0.68. Even if I go for a pro-fitted lpg system, with the miles I do, it'll payback in months, not years.

Petrol anyday.

It all depends on how well the van is serviced. Also crusing gains a lot of MPG as around town in the lower gears tend to drink the fuel.

It'll be well serviced, I don't do any short trims and don't drive round town much. If I could get 30mpg average I'd be pretty happy.

Petrol's are a lot more forgiving for service. Diesels need to be serviced regular to keep them running their best.

Yep. Min in need of service now again

Mines having a service as soon as I finish putting the manifolds and alternator back on.

just noticed this thread, you're going to miss that V8 Audi performance but hope you manage to sort out a replacement - sounds like you're pretty handy which will help with any future problems that might arise:) The Largo should be more economical I should think, just need to see how big a tank you can squeeze in!
