V6 LPG Users
« on: 09 November 2011, 20:54:44 »

Whats your pence per mile?

On the 2.2, my last tank worked out at 12.5p

A trusted source  ::) tells me his is 17p, if thats the case it makes LPG'ing a V6 questionable, assuming 27mpg on petrol, thats around 21p a mile.

4p makes it hardly worth it  :(

Last sensible figures I have for my 3.2 (since LPG, the petrol stats are rubbish, as only gets a slap and dash every 2 or 3 k) is 27ppm ;)

That was in March...

GID currently reading 26.9mpg, but that includes country road blast back from WIM.

Given my 90% motor miles, reckon I could get more  :o

You wouldn't know the country routes back from WIM, so guessing A41>Aylesbury>Bicester>A43 or Great Missery>A413>Aylesbury?Winslow>Buckingham or combo thereof. Both economical stretches.

Had 32mpg on petrol over a 2k holiday in MV6 once.

But then you get 37k from tyres. I'm trying *very* hard to get 10k ;)

Lots of over-taking, hardly economical!

Shall see how the first few tanks go  :)
