Gas Economy, Wolves to Kent and Back
« on: 07 October 2008, 21:30:09 »
I filled up with gas just before I left Wolverhampton on Sunday night.

60 litres = full tank
plus £10 of the expensive stuff for starting

M54->M6->M1->M25->A2
80-90 most of the way, MID said 68mph avg when I arrived at the hospital

Put 25 litres in just to be sure I got home.

These are the MID readings.





Is that GOOD or BAD :question :question

If your computer is like mine .. it still calculates thinking you are running on petrol .. not LPG ... gives an indication of how heavy the right foot is though !! The only way to do it accurately is to note the mileage everytime you fill up with gas. I zero the speedo trip meter every time as that gives a more accurate indication of what I have left than the daft LPG LED's .. I know I get nearly 300 miles solo, just under 200 miles towing .. so I can judge when to fill up.

As a sad git I'm running a spreadsheet on the costs/eceonomy of running on gas .. :)

LOL, hope you had a better trip out of Wolves than I did.  Sat on M40 with handbrake on for over an hour, no apparent reason (roadworks, 3 lanes into 3 narrower lanes).

The air was blue Saturday night ;D

160 miles each way so the rest was back and forth to the hospital, 30 mph
so work that out

404-320=84
84 miles of "normal speeds"
320 miles of "Motorway speeds"

I don't think thats a bad avg speed and MPG :y :y
