I just got 327 miles from a tank of LPG, and it averaged 21.5mpg.

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 ::)
