Hey dudes!

I love my Rangie 4.0 V8 with lpg

But today i loved it even more when i got 246 miles from the lpg tank! (90l tank)

Now at 65.9p a litre (I used my 'points card', 8p a litre off! Next time will be 9p off.) I dont care what anyone says I think thats pretty good!

That equates to 12.4 to the gallon, allowing for the price that looks like the same cost per mile as 28 to the gallon of petrol, pretty good. Nearly as good as my diesel which comes in at 30mpg on a run and of course diesel is cheaper over here. I've had just shy of 600 miles on a tankful of diesel.

But it is in the real world only 12.4 mpg now if that was me I would be crying

Really? To me it's the cost per mile travelled that counts, if he's getting the cost equivalent of 28mpg out of a V8 that has to be good.

Data, I filled the LPG up today from empty

It took dead on 70.00 litre of gas, as you prob already know, the '90' litre tank is the 'water capacity' (just how it's measured

)

So going on 70l of LPG and getting 246 miles what would this make the mpg?

I'm not the best at mental articulates lol

OK that's 15.97 Mpg or equivalent on a cost basis to about 32Mpg on petrol, can't be exact, don't know the price of petrol in the UK, better even than my DHSE
