but Asda are always stars of my LPG filling. 67p now  :-*
But obviously very few have access to Asda, so that helps dragged your ppm down.

Maybe you should ask MPG on LPG, given the massive variation in LPG prices ;).  The BP on the A5 at Paulerspury is 79.9 :o

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 ;)

 :o :o :o :o

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

Good god, I clearly need some lessons in "How to drive like tunnie" - I get 21-22mpg around town, the best I ever had on a motorway run for a full tank @ 70mph was 28mpg, with the cruise on and no roadworks! I can't imagine how you get 27mpg on anything other than a steady run :-/
His driving is a sight to behold...  ...as long as you're not stuck behind him ;D

Ohh sod off, I was doing 80mph down the twisties from Buckingham!
Precisely ;D


Coming back from Wycombe last Saturday night (errr, early Sunday morning ::)), I came via Buckingham (45mins door to door ::)).  A BMW Mini was pissing me off, booting it on every straight.  Finally got him between Winslow and Padbury - we both lauched on that little hump bridge, he bottled it after landing ::).

The recovery time of the suspension on TBE is mega impressive...  ...just as well, as the next little hump bridge has a left turn on it ;)

I really can't be arsed working it out but the most I have had is 320 miles on a run

Thought I had a 70 litre tank till it took 72.9 the other week, guess it's an 80, only had it 3 years so obviously my gauge tells lies ;D

LPG tank should only fill to 80% of its capacity!

The size will be stamped on the plate.

An 80l should fill to 65l, 90l to 72l

I havn't worked it out for a while, and my lpg gauge dosn't work ( :-[ ) so I fill up at every 300 miles or so......  ;)

Assuming at 300 miles, I put in 60 ltrs at 69p per litre that works out at 13.8 ppm.... Bit of a guess-timate really  tho... ::)

I average approx 200 miles from 50 litres. 4 miles from a litre. A litre costs between 75p - 80p per litre here,so around 20p per mile.
I suppose miles per litre is the important part really as the price is so variable in different areas.

Simply put, the savings for most members have been between 8 and 10 p/L ;)

I fitted mine over 10k ago now so it's paid for itself :y :y

Yeah, I get approx 20mpg (just under) at £3.18 per gallon.

TBE hasn't paid for itself yet.  Can you remember the mileage at conversion? 57k? Its just clocked 61k now.
