Quite like that.    Shame it hasn't got a donut tank though. 

[Lazydocker]

If he can get 300 miles out of that tank he must drive like Tunnie

[zirk]

Shame its not a Manual, Auto 3.0 V6 running on LPG just drink the stuff.

[tunnie]

Is that an 80L tank? 

Filled up 2.2 other day, done 370 miles. Only got 59L in at cost of £33 

Quite tempted, but no spare cash at the moment.

Suspect that would go for strong money too, still got ages to go

Not as bad as the piggin 3.2 
I've been doing mostly A roads over the last few weeks and have never got anymore then 17.4 mpg

That's not right. My 3.2 auto (with a 2.6 diff!) does 29mpg on A roads!!

Even on lpg it should be a good 21mpg

Depends how he's driving... I've not managed more than 200 miles to a tank of gas for about 5 weeks 

Mind you... It's done a bit of idling, trips to central London and lots of very hard local runs Which reminds me... Must check the front pads as I'm starting to get fade

Been thinking the same James 

LD, how big is your lpg tank ?
Mines a doughnut tank stuffed in the spare wheel well and holds a max of 45 litres on a very cold day.
Best millage per tank full i've ever managed out of this car is 160 miles and that's with the daft dog in the back so i'm not throwing it into corners and booting it out like I tend to do when i'm on my own   

The LPG map looks pretty much spot on to me so i'll have to sit down on day and try and get my head around the dark arts of MAF's, Fuel trims and Lambda readings 

As a comparison, my old 3ltr manual did at least 170 miles in play mode  and on a rather more sedate run like above, I could stretch it out to over 220 miles to a tank

My tank holds 64ish Litres (72L donut). Normally get around 220-230, 260ish on a steady run. But the car has been getting a spanking lately Lots of roundabouts and twisty stuff Plus some quite sticky tyres

Now that's a absolute awful thing to be subjected too 
Did you need to undertake counselling afterwards

Are you Tunnie in disguise or are you just trying to make me cry Zirk   

[zirk]

The 3.2 are shit on economy compared to the 3.0, there even worse on LPG.

Performance wise, Ive said this years back and still stick to it, you can get the 3.0's with some simple mods well over the performance of a 3.2 and still retain much better mpg.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Got a 60 litre tank in mine. Usually get around 200 miles of mixed driving from a tankful.
I wouldn't bother with another LPG car tbh. The savings for me aren't worth the aggro of hunting around for LPG stations and the loss off boot space.
