Title: LPG MPG?
Post by: omegod on 01 June 2011, 19:42:44
Just managed to squeeze 320 miles out of 69 litres of gas, mostly motorway with a bit of round town, this is the highest I have ever managed on a tank. How does this compare to other gassers?

Sorry if it's been talked about before!

I tend to get around 19-20mpg from my 3.0l auto

21.8 from my working, thought it would be more considering the long motorway runs :-/

Half the rather price though!! :y

17.7mpg from my 3.2 on the last tank... But, to be fair, they were "enthusiastic" miles :-X ::)

[edit]My record has to be 380 miles from 70L of gas when we went to Italy though :y[/edit]

To be fair, it was only that one roundabout ::) Still not overly confident with those tyres though :( Was going to give those Neuton NT5000 a try (the ones raved about by the Saab boys and used on the Track Car) but the incompetent halfwits managed to sell the 4 I enquired about and wasted a 150 odd mile round trip for me >:( >:( >:(

I don't need a V6, i don't carry as much fat weight bulk around as some other members. So 4 pot propels me quite nicely  ;D

Like Auto Addict when he had his 2.2, 45mph in the middle lane is fast enough for anyone ;D
