Just worked out the pence per mile on my 245 GL B200E with 481980 miles today.

297 miles fill up at 72.9 ppl lpg (actual 22mpg) works out to 15.24 pence per mile

Diesel at 1450 ppl (say 50mpg) gives 13.2ppm.

Not much in it but LPG is much greener and so wins.

You're not really comparing apples with apples, you wouldn't get anywhere near 50mpg out of a factory 200 or 700 series diesel.
