What I meant was, if an individual is taxed on their private fuel, they might be better off opting out of employer-provided private fuel and have the fuel card as a 'claim everything but pay back private fuel' facility, as the cost of their private fuel with a 2.0 diesel, might be less than the ~£150 odd a month BIK that you pay as a 40% tax payer. In this case it's worth considering the MPGs of your company car.

I agree with you there, yes, though my original point was about those with fuel cards

This has turned into a conversation about tax, not the intention of the thread!

Any other opinions on the Merc 3.5L V6 engine would be much appreciated!

what does it matter given that he seemingly is unwilling to take your advice, what makes you think he's going to take ours ?

Yes its better, we know that, you know that, will making 20 more posts of "yes its better" make your dad buy it ? No.

Let the discussion move onto more interesting subjects.

Of course its a great engine, its a powerful V6 petrol. We've explained the reason people dont buy it, it isnt because its crap.

Go to America where you'll find that freed from the shackles of mpg obsession, they are everywhere. ie, they are good.
