Afternoon peoples ......

Still umming and argh-ing over which car to buy.

Was pretty much sold on a Jag X Type over an S60 at first.

But now, and in the future, with rocketing fuel costs, I am seriously
considering an S60 BiFuel.

With autogas currently at around 37p/litre compared to 90 - 95p/litre for
standard unleaded, the potential savings are huge.

I'd like some feedback from BiFuel users.
Any pros?
Any cons?
Anything I need to know in my hunt for a decent used model?

TIA

Why not diesel?

That way you get to keep the performance and both Volvo and Jaguar have
decent units.

Alas the S60 Bifuel uses the 2.4 20v in 140bhp trim; alas its abit sluggish,
especially with the auto box hampering it. no infact, its very sluggish.

Get the D5, you wont regret it.
