mine has got better over course of a few tanks, but that could be down to weather. Managed to crack 27mpg on gas!

And???? ::) ::)

mpg is a useless comparison! Work in pence per mile and you realise how much you're saving ;) ;)

I still like to use mpg, as i can double it. With LPG being less than half the price of petrol, 27mpg means at least 54mpg  :D
flawed
Very... But it makes him feel good ::) ::)

I prefer to look at it that I run a V6 armchair for about the same cost as a small car ;)

I can get 350ish on a tank if commuting at about 80ish... 300 on the normal run around I do almost every time :y :y
I think I may have a problem in that case - I got 270 out of that first tank (decent 70 - 85mph commute back mostly), tank needs a tweak, but thats only another 5 litres (25m)

Mine occasionally drops that low... Don't forget it was the first run... Virgin system, lots of idle and calibration. You'll probably find it improves over the next few tanks ;)

And 270+25=295... About right IMO ;)

Oh... And I've got a 90L tank ::) ::)

Is it me or are LPG pumps crap? Everytime i go to Asda one of them is out of order, this time both  >:(

Shell garage has week seals, and this weekend local cheapy one at Towcester had both pumps out  :(

Got bit hacked off Asda was broke again, 2.2 got a bit of a spanking on way back, regularly going well past 4k and into 5/6k  :o

Still averaged 10.6p a mile though!  8-)






Update from me Vis: Asda.
 According to the petrol station manager at my local store, Asda has a software glitch with certain makes of LPG pump. At the time of writing, there are 17 (yes, 17!) stations in the North & East of England with closed down LPG pumps and he couldn't give me a timescale for repair!!! :(
Sorry to come back to this so late on, only just read through it - Yes, there are only 11 LPG stations in the UK, but the computer glitches are a significant problem, and not just for the LPG (we don't have it here). Things are regularly breaking down on us, usually chip and pin machines, and our car wash hasn't worked for over 6 months! Our air machines are regularly out of use due to vandalism as well.
   Some places need a bit of 'prodding' sometimes to wake them up and give it some attention  ::)
