Yep, sounds okay or in fact rather better than average if it's a LWB.
This is not legal advice.

Around town 20-25L....

Soft sand... terrible!

It seems that a 4 litre petrol costs twice that of a 3 litre diesel in fuel costs.

It seems that diesel generally became cheaper than petrol in early March 2007. ( EDIT:- 29th March it was 10 cents less than unleaded)

Will diesel vehicles increase in value?
Inverted but within limits.
