£20 gets me 160 miles from the 2.2

£55 gets me 410 ish in the Senny  :y

That's incredible for the Senny!!!!

I hope my Elite does that, when it's finished...

Mostly motorway James... driving the Senny all i think about is switching my Omega for a 3.2 Elite  ::)

That will have to wait till i am earning money again!

I suspect i will get around 360 miles from this current tank... which includes lots of town runs and a blast to Chipping Norton with 4 people on board.

I am budgeting 350 miles per tank when in Europe.

here is a good example, run to Birmingham Airport and back, 80 mph there, 70mph back, the Senator averaged 31.6mpg....

The Omega did around 35 ish.... not much more considering the lack of power  :(

Hmm im starting to get slighty worried then as i get 40 miles ish to a tenner (town driving mostly) in the 2.5 estate however it has one of those bloody awful gear stick things that constantly needs moving. >:(

With a full tank £55 ish in the Elite (3.0 auto) i always and i do mean always get just over 250 miles to the tank...thats regardless of town work or dual carriage way work,that really worries me. ;D

I was getting 125miles for a Tenner on motorway runs and about 100miles for a tenner around town. But i think my Gas system is iffy at the mo and i am getting alittle less these days. Also Depends on how i drive  ::)

Never reallt ran the car on petrol for long enough to say what the MPG is.

A tenner gets me roughly 100miles of country road blast  :y

Filled up today, £38 - Shouldn't need filled up for another 400-450 8-)

I'm gonna be stuffed when I buy a bigger car with a bigger engine ;D

I've never tried a maximum mileage run Martin. That's 100 miles of twisty country road with lots of revs, so I'm not sure what a V6 would see to that. The acid test surely would be Markie giving me a loan of his car for a weekend  ;)

Sounds like my commute,  twisty roads lots of throttle.

And I get 200 miles from £20

Yeah, but the Corsa probably has a big boot by the time you have lost most of yours on that tank.

He means that coverting a car to LPG results in loosing some of your boot, usually a big chunk. A decent size tank is around 70L and takes up a large part of the boot, were as your Corsa boot is empty.

However having driven the Corsa C and passed my test in it, i would never drive one again (no offence intended) its just me being 6ft4 i don't get on well with them  ;) ;D

Yup left a lot of my hair in the roof lining  ::)

For me it was the lack of an adjustable steering wheel column, no doubt due to the poverty spec BSM heap, not sure if other models come with them?  :-/

I could shuffle the steering wheel with my legs!   ;D (literally!)

Well built little motors though and nippy just not for me!  :y
