If I drive at the national speed limit I can get nearly 30mpg on gas with my 2.5 manual

The only reason I only get around 20/22mpg is 'cos I drive it like I nicked it....

I worked mine out on a motorway/A road run to be 30 mpg over about 50 litres or so of gas

Can i ask, is that a true MPG of gas, or an equivalent mpg if it were to be petrol//

i mean, 20mpg gas is equivalent to 40mpg cost wise, because gas is half the price...?

Yes thats just MPG without the cost per litre/gallon taken into account.
It's 53.9p around here at the moment for autogas and 104.9 for unleaded so its slightly over half price. :y
