Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
My disco is on petrol.
only use it for playing about, its ridiculous/laugh out loud funny how expensive it is!
costs me approx 60 quid for an hour drive at 50mph, an off road day, and then the same drive home.
it also costs approx £120 for a 140 mile round trip that i make in the summer down to abersoch, which is 70 mile there, a week running around and 70 mile back.
i think it does about 8-10 mpg on the 33" tyres.
BUT of course i dont use it much, only when i want to!

My series IIa is on petrol,no idea how much fuel it uses - but it brings home all the firewood,(One woodburner and rads off it are all we have.) so its a bit irrelevant really when all my neighbours are spending £10-15 a day on heating oil.And buying firewood aswell at £80 a load......

I only use petrol in my 3.9 RRC.
I suppose I don't do big miles in it most of the time and £30.00/week is about what I use.
On a run consumption varies enormously but I reckon on anything from 18mpg up to 23mpg. Fooling around in the mud/snow or just booting it everywhere I reckon on as little as 6mpg (but not often!!) but as an average I would say 12mpg.

Just Petrol for me.
It really is just a back up car day to day now since we got a new family car and is used mostly to tug the caravan about. still returns about 18-19 towing the caravan though so not terrible, but not great.
Big dilema though...Disco is really surplus to needs now as new car will pull caravan quite capably..am holding onto the Disco for now but if money gets tight it might have to make an appearance in the 'for sale' section.
