Very Low MPG

cooltide said:

I would expect at least 150 miles from 60 litres on short runs, around 180 miles on longer runs

Which means the real-world MPG average is 11.37, covering 150 miles using 13.20 gallons of fuel
(60 litres as you said) and on
180 miles the real-world MPG average is 13.64, covering 180 miles using 13.20 gallons of fuel
Now if I am not mistaken is thsi a low MPG on LPG because normally Land Rover and many people said that the average MPG
Running costs
Urban MPG: 12.6 mpg
Extra Urban MPG: 23.1 mpg
Average MPG: 17.7 mpg
CO2 emissions: 376 g/km (As you recommended I will go to the MOT station and get the exhaust gas analyzed)
What kind of Land Rover or Range Rover are you driving?

I could get 180 miles on a single point system with lambda control out of 58 litres on a rover 4.6 v8.

I suppose I am right by saying that your engine is NOT supercharged so if mine was 4.2 and SUPERCHARGED would the MPG be the same, does this make sense to you?
I mean this might be because mine is supercharged?

There will be scope for your installer to fine tune

What does this mean and what does it do?

cooltide thanks for replying to all my questions, I really appreciate that. Thanks
I had low MPG problems even before I converted my car to LPG but I didnt realise until someone told me that it is very low MPG,
so I decided to convert my car to LPG which was clearly no help at all. Besides RR website say that the average is
Urban mpg: 12.6 mpg and lets say my engine is old (64k mile) it is about 10/11 MPG
Average mpg: 17.7 mpg and lets say my engine is old (64k mile) it is about 14/15 MPG
Extra Urban mpg: 23.1 mpg and lets say my engine is old (64k mile) it is about 20/21 MPG
So I want to find out the people who are driving range rovers the same age as mine
(4.2 supercharged jag engine) what is there MPG?
And what shall I do step by step (test something, do I diagnostic test, oxygen senser, air filter etc)?
My ECU tells me if there is a problem on the dashboard but it isnt so I am sure there is nothing?
BUT maybe it doesnt say about the spark plug or any other things?
Just basically tell me what to do, I would appreciate it.

Rover v8 in a range rover classic. Much older engine design than jag. i worked out i achieved 15mpg petrol, 13 mpg lpg depending on use.

LPG ECU will have a fuel map and read sensor information just like your petrol efi ecu. It may still be "learning" so a tank or two is worth burning before jumping to conclusions or exhaust analytics, if it feels like it is running well

Why is your petrol MPG more than your LPG?
I thought they burn the same amount of fuel...
For example whan I spend £110 petrol it will be £55 LPG

LPG has a lower calorific value / slower flame front than petrol and an octane around Ron 110+
In order to optimise its use, you need a good spark igniting the cylinder charge slightly earlier than with petrol.
It is always less efficient but much cheaper and cleaner burning than petrol.
