I looked at a TDV8 but there was not enough difference in MPG and the TDV is more expensive to buy usually having mega miles on. |

I'm in the same boat, I'm looking at a tdv8 in the summer but will be out of my budget however the petrols just don't have tha range i need. Bit of a quandary really! |

The V8 will give you 350 miles on the Motorway surely London to Scotland is a reasonable range.... |

It's just the frequency of filling, I get over 500 in my td6 and when I'm busy driving here then and everywhere I have to plan when to fuel, less range would make it even more annoying. Lazy I know but it's one of my gripes. I should move closer to where I need to be and get a v8! |

Unless you get a puncture as I'm guessing the LPG tank is where the spare wheel should be... |

How long does it take to fill up a RR? 10 minutes including any route deviations?

I'm waiting to my P11D for last year to tell me how much fuel I used on my company fuel card, but my gut feel is that I'll get money back rather than having to pay money to Mr taxman like I did the previous year when I had my SC. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Sorry but anyone that does not have 5-10m to buy fuel needs an immediate change of lifestyle. |

I don't think it's so much wether or not you have 5-10 minutes to wait, but when you're in a queue to pay for fuel at a filling station, it does gets rather irritating when the 4 or 5 people in from of you are doing their damned shopping and not buying fuel!

Annoying I agree but it would not stop me buying the car I preferred. |
