Alright Guys/Galls
What sort of MPG have you been getting from your LPG conversions.
On my 2.5 I've worked out I'm getting about 17 on long runs. Me thinks i've got problems unless it's the lead foot syndrome :exclamation
-
with the 3.2 ... Solo average about 18-19, towing about 14-16
Overall over 10945 miles it is 16.85 mpg, at a saving per mile of 8.15 p or 35.32% off the estimated petrol cost .. :)
Just done a deliberate "driving Miss Daisy" tankful, including the 240 miles to stoke & back ...... 307 miles out of the tank .. got 64.87 litres in (so still had 3.13 litres left !!) at a cost of £27.96 ...
That was just over 21 mpg but was sitting on the motorway at 67 mph with the cruise control in for 2 hours each way ..

So I'm thinking then thats about right. Have to ease up on the lead foot abit. Still its nice putting a tank of gas in for under £30. :y

Doesn't sound too far off to me... Just ease off with the right foot a touch and you'll be getting even more! I reckon I get about 20 ish from mine on my normal commute, which is all fast A road as long as I control the loud pedal a little at the roundabouts!
Just done a sensible paced run back from Bournemouth and have so far done about 280 to the tank with at least another 80 miles of my normal route left in the tank! From this I reckon I should be able to see very close to 400 miles to the 72 litres of gas in a full tank if I were to cruise sensibly!!!

My 3.2 averages:-
Long Motorway run at 80 70mph+ about 22

With a light foot on motorway would think that I could quite easily get 25
