You might want to hang fire on the conversion as fuel duty has been frozen on LPG until 2009 at which time it will be reviewed. I'm waiting till I can find out more about what the chancellor is planning to do next year.

My V8 auto on petrol seems to hover aound the 16/17mpg on mixed use, maybe stretching to 20mpg on a motorway cruise. Suspect LPG will be maybe 90/95% of that in the same conditions and my local LPG garage reckoned that an 80 litre set up was maybe a 200 mile range.

I've also got a TD5 auto that never seems to drop below 25mpg on the same runs.

All down to the maths I guess!

I got about 100 miles from 50 litres of gas from my V8 110 when it was running.

i get about 220 solo motorway miles on a good day from 65 litres... on a bad day loaded up with the caravan and lots of hills it has gone as low as 90....

on petrol I get a call from the bank manager before I've left the drive
