Where I live I have the choice between 4 fairly local garages selling LPG, 3 BP forecourts and 1 Murco who at 49.9ppl I avoid like the plague, so unless I venture further afield I regularly fill up at BP, handy for the Nectar points. I've got a 45ltr tank and get a average 130 miles with a 38ltr fillup but if I ever get to use another supplier like Shell or Sainsburys I can get another 15-20 miles at least. <BR>Has anyone else noticed the same?

The Polish girls we have working at our place reckon UK LPG is rubbish, the car runs badly and does far less to the tank than when they go home to Poland.

Difference in range is most likely to be down to a small difference in the slope of the ground when filling, affecting the cut off point, rather than anything to do with the gas. <BR>French LPG gives considerably more MPG than UK gas, because it contains a proportion of butane. <BR>Perhaps Polish gas is the same.

why do we get sub standard LPG here then?

Because this is Rip Off Britain where every manufacturer feels obliged to shaft us. Have the LPGA asked the gas providers in this country why we are sold sub standard gas ?
