TBH this would be the preferred option.

I think the company are slightly worried about the mileage. As I said they haven't really operated a company car policy before, so the flat rate allowance is new to them.
I could really push it and see if I can get a fuel card but I don't think they'll go for it!

Ref the gt86 comment. I assume if doing 20k a year that means a lot of motorway driving?
I was getting 40mpg on a recent road trip when cruising on motorways although that was running super unleaded and like s2000s is the recommended.
Don't know how tall you are it's a 2+2 or for me more a 2+1+1/2
Yes, a lot of motorway miles.
I'm 6'0 and 99% of the time the back seats won't be used.
I'm married.

The back seats won't be used for 100% of the time.

LPG

Commuting across London may not be this car's forte.
100 odd miles this week at 11MPG

Ah, f***it. You only live once.
