£10 LPG - Miles
S-Max 2.5turbo 125.2
Suzuki 1.5na 169.2
Subaru H6 3L 94.8

Very very good figures on the S-max there, only costing you 8p a mile. What MPG do you get on petrol?

[herbertpug]

30-42mpg 99 Ron s-max

[reliantscimitar]

2009 proton persona 1.6

I'm paying 62p/ltr

get 260 miles on £20

so less than 8p per mile

she does 48-50 on petrol and around 42 on gas

cheers - mike

i can only dream of the prices i have seen on ere!! cheapest i have found ere in n ireland is 73.9p......
Vauxhall astra 1.6 vvti, 115hp, Bigas sgis-n obd kit fitted by me, 42mpg on petrol, 34mpg on gas so pretty much bang on the 20% reduction i was expecting,
All said its bout 9.5p per mile which is still a big saving over the 2.0 tdi audi a3 i had which was bout 13.3 p.p.m
With the miles we do in the yr being 20,000 it'll work out about £700 cheaper over the yr than the audi, couldn't be happier with that, well would be happier if i could find somewhere selling lpg at 65p.....

hi all new to this
just got my car lpged last month in leeds at http://www.leedslpg.co.uk/?gclid=CKvKpr ... fAodixwAhA so far soo good i have a chevrolet cruze 1.6 and on 50 liters i got 290 miles but i have a question for you all i asked for a 65litre tank and so far after around 4 fills its only going upto the fifty litre mark any ideas ? the last time i filled up {tonight } it took 48 litres

[SnoozyBMW]

The tank can only be filled to 80% of its maximum rated capacity to allow for expansion of gas (especially in hot weather) there is a cut off valve which prevents fill above 80%.

I like the chevrolet cruze, looks a nice car

[hardcorepit80]

1.6 and on 50 liters i got 290 miles

There's something wrong with your installation if you can get only 290 miles on 50 litres with 1.6 engine.

Honda civic '97 1.6
24 litres, 190-210 miles.

[Gilbertd]

Agreed, I used to get between 190 (around town) and 260 miles (on a long run) from 46 litres on a 2 litre Saab 900.

[del1]

Thanks for your feedback / responses ok so my tanks seems to be holding the right amount im normally motorway travelling and is around 80 -90 mph perhaps this is the reason im getting lower mpg ?

[hardcorepit80]

im normally motorway travelling and is around 80 -90 mph

It's still way, way too much... I suggest you to go to whoever converted your car and ask to get it done properly.

maybe not, it depends how hard the engine is being pushed, my 1.8 berlingo show 3000rpm at 70mph hence i sit at 60mph on a motorway as at 70 it drinks it bigtime.

according to parkers a cruz should get 40-ish so maybe 35-ish on gas

290 miles from a 50 litre equals 26mpg which pretty decent for a 1.6 at 80-90 mph.

I would suggest you have your valve clearances checked regularly, as it is well documented that Honda valves are made of Liquorice

Hi, im new to the forum, Ive had LPG on my 1996 Lexus LS400 4.0 v8 since may, I always brim the tank and use an app on android to record the correct mpg

my average mpg is 20.36
best ive ever got is 22.75
and the worst is 17.86

sticking to the topic: £10 is about 72 miles

[moorsman]

well just to add my ten,pennorth of gas
subaru 2.0 non turbo gives me 178 miles from 35litre of gas at 78p per litre that costs me 15p per mile or petrol is 28mpg at 6.35 a gallon that costs me 23p per mile

Hi

I would just like everyones experience of LPG VS petrol....

Could you state your car + engine size and how far you get with 'X' amount of gas....

Thanks

I am not sure what car you drive or the size of the engine is important,if you want to drive a petrol car no matter what it is you will get about 40 percent saving running lpg, given a 4 cyl conversion costs about £900 6cyl £1100 and 8cyl about £1500,just how much mileage you do will affect the time it will take to get this cost back,from my own experience it took me 18months to get the conversion cost back,so if you change cars often then it may not be cost affective to have lpg.
Just what system you fit is again a matter of choice but no matter what one you choose there is a hidden cost with these new systems unlike the old ones which used to change to lpg very quickly after starting you car the new ones take at least a mile or two to change this may not sound much but using petrol on choke is no laughing matter if you want to save money,so I would estimate at todays prices you will put about £70 of petrol a year,again it does not seem much but take a vectra c I had I used to put £30 a year.

[moorsman]

well i have to confess i start on gas and only use petrol when i forget but boy am i mad if i look down and see that little red light on
