Its scarcer than that round these parts at the moment. Pump on the A12 Witham has been broken for three weeks. Total garage A12 Marks Tey was closed for refurb.Now reopened but LPG pump is broken.Heybridge  garage with LPG has closed down.Need to make a special trip to Sudbury or BP A12 near the football ground,both a 20 mile round trip.

The BP at the football ground is staffed by "special people" (to use an admin's favourite phrase) Have had to fill up there twice in the last few days and they are adamant there's nothing wrong with the pump even though it's sooo slow that it takes at least 10 mins to fill up

Only good thing is that they have a 5p/L off offer on fizzy pop so I get a full tank of LPG, 2 bottles of pop and the total is less than the LPG was on it's own

The pump there is a slow one. ......didnt know about the fizzy pop offer.Will investigate that tomorrow,cheers.

IIRC, you had a really small tank? Or was that JCB?

If so, the high price of the pop, compared to Tesco, may make it not worthwhile.

Same car As said Albs, I don't think you'll be able to fill with enough to get them free like I do

sorry tb, missed that, 45mpg would be sound. Did a lot of driving in England last yr, had a passat bluemotion hired, excellent driver, very comfy and was getting around 70mpg in it but its outside my price range  . Might look into hiring, just feeling it out at the minute.

Would hire/new car be cost effective against the extra fuel your v6 would use

Borrox,didnt think of that.Its always me. I was all built up on the idea too.
From empty (which it now is) that pump will probably put about 58ltrs in my 60 litre tank.Had 59.75 from it once,which makes me wonder how inaccurate it is.
Will probably still go there (as opposed to Sudbury)as I could do with a visit to Underwoods (which is 5 minutes away)for some oil & other service bits & pieces.

You could have a point there, on a really good run I'm getting around 37 mpg but as I said I'm just feeling it out, I fancy a new motor as well and it might convince the missus to get rid of her avensis if I bought something and she seen how economical it was and comfy

I've filled there twice in the last week or so (through desperation, not choice!) and it's shut off at about the right point both times In previous fills there (from memory) it's been about right as well

Perhaps the shut off on your multivalve is sticking sometimes Or is that you holding the button until no more will go in long after the fill actually stops (virtually)

[albitz]

Could be a sticky valve I suppose. ......no point keep holding the button to try and get another 10p in after having already been stood holding it for at least 10 minutes.
