GARY 76 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 ive seen loads of these for sale and quite like the short wheel base one , how bad on fuel are they ? I used to sell these new and to be honest there was only a couple of miles to the gallon difference between petrol and the diesel? 3.0V6 Auto about 22 mpg, 2.8TD Auto about 25 mpg. But you pay about per litre more for diesel, and you will pay more for a TD vehicle, so in real terms you would have to do a lot of miles in the TD to make up the purchase price and fuel price difference?
