Ok so as some of you know in looking into changing from P38 to L322. Now what I'd like to know is what mpg you get from the TD6 and 4.4 on LPG. I only do around 4k a year, but I do tow a caravan. If the difference is minimal then I'll just look for the best car i can afford regardless of engine. I know both engines/gearboxes have their faults but that's life I guess.

My 4.4 V8 returns 15.1mpg on LPG with a good mix of road and traffic conditions.

My td6 happily runs around town doing 22mpg

On a 2 hour motorway run it reaches up to 27mpg

He's a good driver, seen 9.4/9.5 litres per 100 km on the dash on a run, 9.4 = 30mpg. About the same as the P38 on a run

My td6 on a run touches 30mpg nursing it ( that's actual figure, it reads 32mpg on the computer)
Daily driving, combined does 23/24 (reads 26mpg on computer)

HTH.

My TD6 averaged 25 MPG over 4 years (actual) and i get 17+ on my 4.4 V8 petrol LPG which equates to 28+ MPG. Better sound, better performance. Both BMW engines are bombproof but the TD6 gearbox is "chocolate" and towing could bring on more probs?
