I have had one for 6 year but being honest running costs and such i have never looked into that much
.. on average on a good day you can expect to get about 14/15 mpg , on a c.unt of a day expect about 10 ..

I run a Supercharged on LPG. For £50 worth of LPG I'll get around 200 miles, possibly up to 280 on a run.

I run one - had the same dillema as you but when you look at what you get with the Supercharged, for me it was a no brainer - so much nicer to drive than a diesel (IMHO !)

£50? You'll get £125 miles around town. 200 miles if it's mixed A and B roads. I used mine to commute 20 miles return to my work for a few weeks until I realised it would be £80 a week in fuel rather than the £20 I put in the Triumph every 10 days.

If its a 3rd car and doing little milage go for the SC but a very good one to keep the costs of repair down.

I've had mine for 13 months, and typically average about 15.5mpg, which is 50-50 mix of dual carriageway / in town driving.

Kris, are you sure you don't have a TDV8? 200 miles for £50 equates to 25 mpg! If that's from an S/C I'll eat my pants! Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining! |

Ive had all engines, TD6, S/C and now TDV8. The S/C is lovely in terms of effortless silent driving with immediate respones, the TDV8 has a slight lag at low revs when setting off but once moving is a great performer with 25 mpg driving no matter how hard i push it, 30+ on a motorway run, and the TD6 which is just poor in comparison to either of the other 2.
