astra lpg running costs
« on: 18 September 2009, 16:26:17 »
Hi
I saw an astra estate 1.6 lpg from about 2001 for sale at my sons school earlier, aparantly done about 70k miles and for £1600. i believe it was a factory install.

wondering how much mpg i can expect to get from it.

unfortunly with reports of fuel going to cost even more i don't think buy a 3.2 omega was a great idea

Depending on condition/mileage, how about swapping my 2001 Astra 1.6 Factory LPG Estate for your 3.2 manual? 

(Once I have fixed the astra oil loss, of course  :D )

::) :P

It does between 26/29mpg on gas, which is about 8.5p per mile.... reckon if the LPG ECU was connected to and tweaked this could be increased.

Damn, i wanted it to be rubbish so i could justify keeping the omega.
42 beats the 30 im getting now...
thing is i only got it a month ago and it does have problems so know id loose a fair bit of money.

or convert your 3.2.
7 or 800 sobs should cover all tank sizes. 19 mpg at 53p a litre(cheapest round here some up to 56 odd)
Got to be better than an Astra? We have standards you know! :-)
