paxman,
Not my stats, but they are the figures from the last census.
Liverpool has online car booking and has a discount. I have not used this method so I do not know how much this is. There are a number of alternative sites for car parking springing up and they have courtesy transport for their customers.
The prices I got for Manchester was from their site at

Because you mentioned a long weekend trip the figures I looked for was for the same. The figure you now quote, £4.20, is for pre-booked space for Feb2003 and is for a MINIMUM 8 day stay.
Now for public transport. The Government has given grants to MAN for the introduction of rail and tram systems to the airport, something that they have not given to LPL. The government has criteria for rail links to airports whereby an airport must have a minimum of 10 million pax per annum to qualify for the grant.
Finally, as I have said before, its Liverpool Airport company policy that says LPL car parking will be lower than at MAN.
