G'Day All,
So a friend is in the market for a large 4x4 wagon and was looking at some of the current run out deals i:e Discovery 3 which is offering a lot of car for the dough.
Discovery 3 V6 Petrol S $49,990 driveaway Metallic paint extra 15.2l/100
Discovery3 TDV6 Diesel S $59,990 driveaway Metallic extra 10.4l/100

The dealer says which model and the mate replies definately the diesel.
The dealer did the sums at Monday's cheaper rate of ULP over Diesel,calculated the petrol uses around 5l/100 more fuel but is cheaper and to recoup the 10k extra purchase price the break even point is at the 275,000 klm mark. This is starting to throw a different slant on things as he does not tow and essentially wants a large touring wagon.LPG is also an option for extra range and economy.
The way we are being crucified on the price of fuel makes the next purchase a very careful decision.
Cheers Mark
