I don't believe it. Mrs TB has demolished my LPG MPG record on the bullet.  23.48mpg, using the same pump to fill. 260 miles, 50l

Grrrr.

The best I managed was 22.something going to Mancs and back, in works time, so at the speed limit.

How does she do it?

Given the lpg was 73.9p and diesel was virtually double at 147.9p, that makes it equivilent to around mid 40s compared to a diesel, from a 3.0l auto.

With her increased commute, I was toying with an old banger diesel for her commuting, but it clearly simply isn't worth it....

Factor in the potential costs involved with older, worn out diseasal parts and the numbers simply fall aparrt

Very good effort on Mrs TBs part

[albitz]

My old diesel banger returns equivalent to over 100mpg (40mpg @ 50ppl) and the only part which has needed replacing in the last year has been the alternator.It did need some serious welding for the MOT though.

Suspect not so much heavy braking, then heavy on the go pedal.  that's kinda mpg I would expect from the 3.2 when it's lpg'd

Smoothness is key

Simple, the car is carrying less weight when Mrs TB's driving it
