Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a Berlingo multispace, it's the perfect cross between a car and a van for me. Due to budget restrictions I will be getting a mark 1, I've seen 1.4 or 1.8 petrol and 1.9 diesel models within my budget.
Fuel economy is the main issue for me as I'll be doing a thousand miles or so a month, around town on pizza deliveries! From what I've read so far I should be looking at approx 40 mpg from the diesel and approx 35 mpg from the 1.4. 1.4 seems tempting as they're slightly cheaper to buy and cheaper tax, also with diesel being 10p/l more expensive the 1.4 may work out about the same in £ per mile?
Basically I want to know what sort of economy you're getting from your Blingo, particularly if you have a 1.4 or 1.9d mark 1, do tell anyway if you have a later model or a different engine.
MPG would be great but if you know miles per tank (65 litre tank is it?), miles per £10/20, or even litres per km if you're one of them there europeans, I can equate to mpg.
Many Thanks
Dink
