So *if* I'm over there, I ought to avoid the BP then   

This is very well, and I woundn't like to spoil the party, but surely LPG is at it's lowest cost now.  It can only go up ....

Nope... When I got my first LPG car it was around 35ppl... It's now around 65ppl

But equally, petrol was about 85ppl and now look at it

Currently the duty difference between LPG and petrol will not decrease by more than 1p/year but don't know how long that will last :-/

Must confess, I doubt LPG will be viable for me within the next 5 years. Considering a Lexus Hybrid at the moment :-/

Noooooo! 

A8 Diesel would be more economical...

That may be... But, and I know it was a rarity, after the bad weather this winter I miss the ground clearance of a 4x4 and the lexus is sensible on RFL as well as fuel... 45+ MPG is easily achievable, although it's a bit of a barge. Still pretty quick up to the speed limits, just slower on the autobahns

Speaking of Autobahns... Any chance you could PM me the details of the European Breakdown Firm you use?

Its no secret, its the ADAC, German version of the AA. Full European cover, and AA cover in the UK. Go for the + version, its around £70 for the year, just ring the German number and ask to speak to an English Adviser 

Does that give full repatriation?

Yes, i believe they tow you to nearest garage, if they can't do anything and its cream crackered they take it home. But i would ask them to be sure when you ring up, they answer in German, but i just ask for an english speaking advisor, found their service to be excellent
