So, for a family of 4, all the ski gear but no roofrack, this is what I got: * Steady 75mph - Just over 18mpg. * >80mph - Just over 14mpg. No matter how I drive, I can't seam to get more than 18mpg but likewise, it doesn't seam to matter how hard I drive it (95mph, towing, etc...) I can't seam to do worse than 14. As for LPG - Think very carefully before you do the conversion. Engines which have been run on petrol for a while don't like LPG. LPG is also quite hard on the ignition systems... The savings you make at the pump may well end up being spent on engine re-builds.

I have a D2 and use it as a daily driver, not as economical as the wife's Clio but hey the grin factor makes up for that:D Seriously though though I get around 18 in town and over 20 on a run unless I'm generous with the loud pedal. Also noticed that the mpg is pretty much the same whether towing the caravan or not. With the difference in the cost of diesel it works out pretty much the same for me. YMMV. Mark S.
