Price difference between selling a V8 and buying a good TD5 buys a lot of fuel.....

Ditto. A common mistake.

More than happy with it.

Really? I'm getting 12L/100 at absolute best, counting LPG : petrol at 2:1. Average town driving is 14L/100 for me, 12L/100 on the highway.

Where are your LPG tanks sitting? Personally, I'd rather fork out for the diesel than have a tank in my boot...

I get on average 16-17L/100, so by time I drop pricing to match petrol, running 8-9L/100 comparison. It's my daily driver so it does a fair whack of KM's each week and getting consistent figures.

Of course that goes out the window when off-roading but I don't care about that! :)

Well have just gone out and purchased a 2002 TD5 which I am happy with. Has the complete service history, nice and tidy.
