i didnt think you could lpg a diesel tho hence buying a petrol?
yup lpg works on diesel or petrol
think its the old saying if you have to ask the price you cant afford it.
if your that worried about running costs then i dont think the X5's for you.
my landrover, a 2.5 tdi does about 26-7mpg. this works out to about 20/21p of diesel per mile. (not including insurance, tax, parts etc! just fuel)
so an X5 which is about 20mpg could cost you nearly 30p per mile in fuel if prices reach the predicted 1.50 mark in a few months!
I would really advise diesel if ur hearts set on an X5, or any everyday car to be honest. yes with diesel at £1.20 theres not much saving over fuel, but it will still be cheaper than a petrol.
