Hobzy, the way I see it, unless you're doing masses of miles every year, say over 20k. The added costs of running a dag dag will hit harder (in one go) than spreading it at the pumps by using a petrol.
Thinking outside the box somewhat, what about LPGing a 745i with change left over for the conversion?
We do 20k a year and its nearly all Motorway - down the A3 to work and either to oxford/Gatwick/folkestone or Cambridge for Family visits. On one of those fuel calc petrol vs diesel things it worked out about the same. LPGing something would be an option, but as its the only car ideally it will need to already have been done as we have nothing to run while its in for the install. Dont think (even if it was currently running) she would want to go to work in the kit for a week!

The LPGed cars I've looked at seem to (understandably) command a premium like diesels do so no win there unless I've missed some.
Trying to keep the tax down at around the £200 mark, why is it such a bloody big jump to the £400odd bands?
The Parkers running costs app thingy has been handy - no idea how accurate it is though.
All the suggestions have been really helpful - its a funny price bracket with loads to pick from and you have all helped sort the wheat from the chaff. Whatever we get we'll have to decide soon as we need to get it next week really.

Better looking and less ubiquitous than a Passat, nicer inside too. Figures look like 30-50 mpg for the petrol.
That is bloody hideous, it might just be a poor colour but Better looking and less ubiquitous than a Passat, nicer inside too. Figures look like 30-50 mpg for the petrol.
