Title: Something's wrong with TBE
Post by: TheBoy on 17 June 2014, 20:52:23
I just got 327 miles from a tank of LPG, and it averaged 21.5mpg.

Its clearly broken ;D

Are you sure that the offside speed regulator connected to the chair/steering wheel interface is not faulty ::)

My mpg has improved as well.  :y

Seems to be since I got a speeding ticket but I'm struggling to see the connection.  ::)  May just be a coincidence.  ;D

Have you lubricated the throttle pedal/cable/body so that they are progressive rather than just on/off?

According to my records the best I've ever had was 312 miles on 60.75 ltrs .. an average of 23.32 mpg; cost of that was 72.58 p/ltr (converted from euros as it was in France) so 14.13 p/mile ... as diesel was £1.59 at the same place that worked out as the equivalent of 51 mpg from a diesel. Petrol was £1.36 so equivalent of 44 mpg on petrol .. figures I can only dream about .... :)

V6 power with the economy of a 2.2 diseasal .. whats not to like??  :)

If he had no boot he'd have a much bigger tank than 312 miles range ::)

So it has to be a saloon. And the tank needs to be behind the back seats, and not in the wheel well.

The boot is enormous anyway. Tank stops the other stuff flying about.

It took 69l to refill, as its only an 80l tank, I guess either the pump is tosh, or I never readjusted the tank after Gixer and I raised its arse a bit ::)

The lack of boot space is restricting sometimes. But for the 2 or 3 times a year I need the full boot, I'll make alternative arrangements :)
