Around about, yes. If yours is older, probably less. But the point is £30 extra in fuel is nothing.
I'm all for getting back in a V8 in the not too distant future. I've been saying to my friends fo ... |

but an extra 3-5MPG is sweet FA between the manual and auto. 
Some quick maths assuming average milage and £1.20 a litre gives you a cost differential of around £25/month between auto and ... |

| With todays modern cars I don't see the point in a manual gearbox, auto's are now superb. Economy is a very subjective matter I feel. If you are talking Bugatti Veyron with 8MPG I can understand, but ... |

| PS If you can't change your order, you can always get a set purchased. I can get the 19's with tyres for £1500. |

18's every time. I've been with 19/20' alloys for the past few years and it is a joy not to crash aroundon the UK's horrendous road surfaces.

| Thanks chaps. The FL2 is the family wheels, I loved the Sport, but it went to Morrison's and back and sat in the garage most of the time, while I took the 'everyday hack' to work. My wife has agreed I ... |

| Really they aren't any more Volvo parts than LR parts. Why should a part number mean a part is inferior or superior. It's a Ford label, nothing more. Now the two are separate companies, all new genera ... |
