Put 77 litres of diesel in it...

Whoopdeedoo you may well say, but it only has an 80 litre tank... ::)

Got 550 miles out of that 77 litres though...

32 mpg, is that all?

I would expect better so I assume it mush have been all round town?
Pretty much... On a run it's alot nearer 42-45, but idling with the aircon blasting kills it ::)

Nice a cool though ;D

Reality is until the 2.2 is replaced it cannot be gassed, as I need a full boot. Plus I need to work out millage. I think its going to be very low until its dedicated to commuting.

Between working from home, days off 2.2 use and taking the bike. Its miles are low.

He needs an estate and can't bring himself to fit the lpg kit to a desmond estate, as that would mean getting rid of the desmond saloon... not helped by liking the 3.2 ::)

That desmond saloon needs a conversation with a bin lorry to force a decision :-X
