Hello,
My wife and I have just purchased a MY2022 Dacia Sandero Comfort.
We're looking forward to becoming part of this community, and so happy to be here.

Re: New purchase .....
We have the same year and model which also is bi-fuel. I can honestly say after 15k trouble free miles it's been one of the most engaging cars I've ever owned, to the extent that for the first time in my 60 years of car driving/ownership I've named ours! It has that rare quality of having character for some reason. I hope you find the same and enjoy the forum. There are some great and knowledgeable posters on it.-

@awbuggrit .... Thanks for the lovely welcome.
Yes, ours is the Comfort edition, it's only done 5K miles, formally owned by an elderly gentleman in a neighbouring village.
Same as you, my wife has given it a name ... Dolly the Dacia!!!
You're correct, it is the bi-fuel model, but I'm sticking to unleaded for the time being, I've heard the gas stations are few and far between,
although I have heard of an Autogas station nearby to where we live.
Looking forward to our time in the forum, take care for now!!!

Hi Phylln 17,
It might be worth pursuing the LPG option. We travel about 30 miles, to get ours but at 75p a litre we think it's worth it. Admittedly we don't get as many mpg as petrol, but at only about 20% difference round town at half the price it's worth it. Apparently running on LPG is better for the engine too. On a run after filling 47 mpg is attainable which is acceptable in my view. Naturally your circumstances may be different, but tanking up on LPG and E5 before our last holiday meant no filling up for the entire week, journeying from Shrewsbury to St. Austell, indeed we had a quarter of a tank of petrol on our return despite the running around and the M5 'car park!' We called our car Sandy.(I know, I know! )
