From empty to full you should be getting around 20% less than your tank, are you running it completely empty?? I get around 54ltrs in my 67ltr tank and if I drive it gentle I get around 170 miles running round town. On a run I get 250-270 keeping it around 65mph which surprises me too. I let mine run on petrol for the first 1-2miles when the engine hasn't been run for a couple of hours. Mines a 95 3.9V8i Auto and at 50p a ltr its pretty cheap to run for the size of it I find.

Thanks for the reply,ive just had it serviced and had a new regulator fitted as the old one was not working properly.i also had a leak from one of the pipes which cut me down to 90 mls on a full tank.Ive just filled up yesterday so i will see how many miles i get from a full tank now.

his local lpg filling station maybe :doh:

there is a place near me in stockton-on-tees that sells it for 50p a litre but if you buy 20 litres or more you get 1p off a litre next time (up to 10p off a litre max). Worked out pretty cheap when i had the rr averaging 45p a litre :)

Think its an Esso garage (petrol & Diesel pretty expensive mind) on Yarm road opposite the Citroen garage.

from the A66 head for yarm/eaglescliffe and its on the right hand side :)
 
With an 80 litre tank you should get 64 litre fill. on my 4.2 LSE that would take me approximately 200 miles (average driving). As said the only way to calculate is to let the tank run dry - refill - and drive until empty again. LPG guages only give an approximation but if you zero the trip recorder at every fill you can guage how much gas you have left

Mine is the same squeeze about 65l into twin 40l tanks and anywhere from 170-210 depending on what i'm doing (D2 4.0)
