MPi disco is a sucker bet, TBH. motor doesn't suit it and it's rather
underpowered. The motor isn't bad if you rev the nuts off it, but even with
dual fuel, you won't see impressive economy.

3.9 V8 on gas if you can run mostly on gas, or TDi are your best bet for
economy, although none of them are really what you call economical. 300TDi
disco here is getting about 32 mpg on average use.

except that an 850 mini is fun. MPi discos aren't easy to find, anyway.
AIUI it was intended for the european countries that have large tax breaks
for sub-2-litre vehicles.
