I know the original post was about diesels, thats why i posted a thankyou for letting me know what the spec of a diesel FR was....
The conversation then evolved onto AndyVTR saying he may get a petrol car and still be able to get 40MPG when he wanted to. The MPG for his FR diesel was quoted at 55MPG so i am not at cross purposes. (just to clear it up)
Hence I said, dont get a LCR
AndyVTR - i'd stick with the diesel if i were you. The petrol costs are a nightmare, and thats on 100 mile a day round trip, similar to yours....
300 miles on a full tank (£50) is just mad.
