is it worth it for the extra performance over a diesel? also how many miles do you get out of a tank? |

i filled up on BP ultima last night, cost me 97 quid, and on my tank it said 155 miles, i do a fair bit of city driving and i tend to get about 8 days driving out of it, thats not to say im in it constantly, i mean, i drive prob 15-20 miles around a day,

15 mpg sounds like its roughly the same as my current (old) rr 4.6, if your worryed about fuel ecconomy, i'd suggest looking into an lpg conversion as its about half the cost of petrol, obviously theres the extra cost involved of getting it fitted (but it does boost your resale value a bit aswell) but that way you have the advantages of the v8 but cheapo gas when your just milling about |

I think so. More responsive, faster, sounds better, cheaper fuel... But the TDv8 tuning boys will disagree. 2022 P440e AB |
