Would be much appreciated if you could Paul. Although it has suspected dispack trouble at the moment.I will be investigating that asap,but Im very short of time just at the moment,but hopefully things will calm down in a week or so.

No point in doing anything until that's sorted then

According to your figures you nearly cracked 30mpg, remember I was slated for claiming that from a 3.2 

Thats 19p a mile, so 4p a mile saving 

Again, plucking figures to convince yourself.  How do you think I managed nearly 30mpg? By driving like you (due to the old dears in that back, coming back from Cardiff at 70mph), and notice it was a short fill - trying to see what MPG I could get . I'd expect to easily break 23mpg (easily) on gas doing that, so 69p*4.5/23m = 13.5p per mile being miss daisy, and at Asda fuel prices...

You need to compare like with like, rather that trying to convince yourself that you are saving by using petrol

Tunnie seems to be unable to grasp that the only way to make a true comparison is to only change one variable, the fuel type

No matter how many of us tell him that we have done the comparison and calculations, all of us coming to the same conclusions, he seems to be determined to slate LPG now because it's not really viable for him

Bored with having the discussion about him with it now... Many of us have confirmed that the saving is around 10p per mile with proven, viable comparisons instead of plucking random figures from the air

I drive like miss Daisy and cant get anywhere near those figures in my 2.5. I did wonder if it needs setting up,but LD had a good gander at it not that long before I bought it and he was happy enough with how it was setup iirc.

Yours is not perfect by any stretch... Perhaps I should have another look at it soon

That's another reason why the 3 of us need to get together then!

Oi you,theres a bloody queue you know.

My personal worst orange light to orange light is 82 miles from £30

By Mr Es maths I could save £120 ish per week

Lazydocker - I know there is no malice in your Tunnie bashing comment, but it did come over slightly aggressive to a layman 

[TheBoy]

Although I know tunnie knows you well enough not to take any offence .  Besides, tunnie bashing is my job!

Did I just enter the Blue Oyster Bar by accident?  Is TB grooming the useless student now or is he just having an off day?

By Mr Es maths I could save £120 ish per week

£30 of fuel is 5.208 galls ....

82 miles from 5.208 is 15.74 mpg !!

On average LPG consumption is 20% less than petrol consumption so about 12.5 mpg on gas

82 miles would use 6.56 galls LPG

LPG is about 70p a litre or £3:18 a gall

your 82 miles would have cost you £20.86 on LPG .. a saving of £10 or 30odd%...

put another way .. on petrol it was 82 miles for £30 or 36.65 p/mile
on LPG 82 miles for £20 ..  or 24.39 p/mile  ....

Oh look .. just about 10 p/mile (in your case 12) savings ....  just  about what we reckon ....

MID hovers around 23 mpg, but get through approx £300 a week so a 30% saving is not to be taken lightly

Sorry old boy... age before beauty and all that!

In that case I apologise to anyone who read it that way... It wasn't my intention

But, as you say, he knows me well enough to read it as I intended

You need to see me again?

Time is short at the moment, unfortunately, but we'll have to try

Over 42000 miles and 4 1/4 years of LPG running, including all sorts of driving, towing the tin-tent, many changes to petrol/lpg costs, and buying fuel in France, I'm averaging a saving of 38.21% ... as you say ... not to be sneezed at
