squirrel shooter Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi thinking of getting the above in 2008+ reg. What's the mpg like on them and road tax? Any pros and cons, thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I've had 3, but one was petrol which we'll ignore. Around town about 28 MPG and a good 40 on an extended run and I tend not to hang about. Tax, £300. Just sold (part exchange) the 08 Aventura at 95k with just a duff sensor in the turbo and a couple of rod ends replaced. The only problem is my driving routine - mostly short (cold) trips around town and on the farm. If I didn't run up the M5 to Taunton once a fortnight to clear it out the DPF would kick off. Having had to have it sorted out professionally when I couldn't get the warning light to go out, the charge for this made me determined not to let it happen again and hence the rubber/ tarmac transfer - 1000+ miles a year of wasted fuel. Now driving petrol so that problem is sorted and overall I'm well pleased with the somewhat younger replacement wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
