Discovery 3 economy

Only thing I think I can possibly meaningfully add here (being a pedestrian defender owner :p ) is it's one thing to say the extra purchase price diesel V petrol takes 7 years to re-coup. However, when you go to sell the vehicle you will usually get significantly more than the petrol, so you'll probably get a lot of it back.

When oil goes up again the difference might be that you'll still be able to sell the diesel as opposed to giving away the petrol. :o

Always comes back to $$$. TDV6 SE tastes on a V6 budget.

I'm actually commuting to melbourne at the moment - Mon-Wed there and Thu-Sun in Brisbane. For some reason there seems to be a lot more used Disco 3's down there so I might have a sniff around and see what I can get, and drive it back.
