Diesel Engined Frontera`s Info req

[MasterAbacus]

hi all,

Just wondering what kind of MPG id expect to get on the variouse diesel engined frontera`s?

What engine do you recomend?

there seems to be plenty of 2.2 tdi `s knocking about at the moment for sale? could there be a reason?


Im considering an upgrade from my 2.2petrol if its viable for fuel consumption as im starting to do a few more busines miles these days, and my 2.2 petrol is only giving me about 20 - 25 mpg...

Looking forward to the replies

A lot of peeps lease or finance cars, so you will always have waves, last frontys sold new about 2003/4

[I Live For FOG]

[MasterAbacus]

thats not a bad idea either.... what mpg can i expect on a 3.2 v6 prior to a conversion?

[Drift]

I know the figures are good but just cant remember where the post is.
But it convinced me, if I was going LPG I would go V6

about 12-15 gpm (gallons per mile)..or should that be the other way round
