economy of disco mpi's

Well I get 19mpg on LPG, so based on that I'd expect low twenties on Unleaded...not that I could bring myself to run on Unleaded for more than a few minutes, it'd give my wallet a heart attack :shock:

rangerider:
ive had 2 v8s get into the better end of the 20s when driven gently.

a 3.5efi auto that had oil changes and full services almost monthly (I worked in a garage at the time and palyed drity every week so a quick clean & service was never a problem)

I also got a trip average of 27 from a 3.9 auto doing exter-london along the motorway with the cruise con set at about 62 (just fast enough to pass the lorries)

Mart:
thanks for the replys, i was seriously considering a V8 with lpg but my budget wont stretch to a minter and if anything went wrong with the gas i could see it being an expensive job and as i'll have it as a family car and a newborn to keep in a few mths i could do with some simple motoring.

so i think i'll probably end up with a tdi and just service it regularly although i might take an mpi out on a test drive just to see what its like.

cheers mart

LandRoger:
Keep us informed Mart -re MPI  they seem to be cheap at the moment,

TimM:
They are cheap........ as nobody seems to want them  :wink:

This means you can pick one up for little, but does the eventual resale value (or lack of) factor into your economy equasions?
