However, the number of LPG places is still increasing, and I've rarely had
problems recently.
You should note that "Autolycus" spent a lot of time towing a big trailer -
his mpg figures are thus on the low side. I don't know what system he had,
mind.
There's a good, but not cheap (about 800 quid, I should think, by the time
it's fitted), option to increase tank space - remove the petrol tank and fit
a gas tank (80l which holds about 64l), and an aluminium extra petrol tank
inside the rear wing, which holds about 8 gallons of petrol as a reserve -
enough for about 120 miles, or more if driven carefully.
the big tank together with say twin 35s would give you a total usable
tankage of about 120l, which is more than the petrol tank holds, and which
on mine would get me about 340 miles. A 3.9, not towing and driven tidily,
would get a bit more.#
on a decently-converted 3.9, running closed loop, you should be able to get
15 mpg, mebbe more, provided you don't get silly with the loud pedal.
Should get about 180 miles on the 2x35 tanks alone, which is around what
mine gets from the 80l tank, doing about 13 mpg.
The led gauge on this one is actually quite good, but I tend to use the
tripmeter mostly. Part of the thing with gauges is making sure the gauge on
the tank matches the one on the dash... there are quite a number of
different resistances.
