Economy on The 98 > 2.2 Petrol and 2.2 Desiel by Reeco on Sun Mar 09, 2008 11:45 pm
Hi All, Can I have the MPG from the owners of the above vehicles, I am considering buying a newer version of the Fronty but wanted to know is it worth say paying the extra £ 500 on a desiel vehicle.I am also now considering buying a Pajero as I saw a K reg Pajero a couple of days ago, it was immaculate and you would never have thought it was K reg.

Owner of a 95' 2.2 petrol. I had a VX reconditioned engine fitted 2 years ago and rarely get less then 400 miles to a full tank unless Im doing a lot of stop/start city driving. So averaging between 23 and 27 MPG. I just replaced the Lambda sensor though and Im expecting to see a little more on top of that. Cant speak for the diesels though.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Yes, it absolutely is.
I have the 2.2 Dti and the wife has the 2.2 petrol.
The diesel is way more economical than the petrol version (38-40 mpg v 25mpg)
You'll recover the extra cost in no time..
