TBE - blimey
« on: 03 July 2012, 17:37:07 »
Best ever LPG MPG ever today, despite it being a short fill. This car normally manages 17-18mpg, today 21.86 :D.  And it was only 70.9p, despite being a motorway services :o

Guessing Mrs TB must have done all the driving on this tank then :-X ::)

I generally get about 230 miles to the tank (mostly around town/roundabouts) unless on a long run when it can be up to 270

So I make that just under 15p mile? If I get 30mpg average on petrol in 3.2, with a working exhaust & actually connected to back box I think is possible. Thats 19.5p a mile, got 29mpg with my usual runs few tanks ago.

Really cuts into V6 LPG pay back :(

30 MPG from a 3.2.. Something's wrong with your calculations or you never leave the motorway, and don't stretch the poor thing's legs. ;D

I avoid braking at all costs, it's all about being smooth. Predicting what's happening ahead, well maintained & checking tyre pressures. 30 average is target I have set, 27 from average driving so far, 80% of 70mph cruising saw 29, with some town work
