There is no point owning a truck if you are worried about mpg, just enjoy it and even better with all this crappy weather you can go anywhere

Does the l200 still qualify for 'light goods vehicle' cheap road tax? - and what are they like for insurance

Most pick ups unless common rail will do 20-25 to the gallon. Common rail electronic engines may do 30 mpg but will probably require a set of injectors at 130k for 1000's of pounds so the fuel savings go out the window. I buy a truck and drive around gently for a week checking the fuel consumption still in love with the new toy. Give it a few weeks and a bit of work stress the foot is down a bit harder and the fuel consumption goes out the window.
