    Mpg on Lpg....... This the right way to work it out ? (Softsh*te)

    73.9 it is near me, thats the only lpg station for miles aswell. 95p per litre is a joke.

    Mpg on Lpg....... This the right way to work it out ? (Softsh*te)

    Cheer everyone, 13.5mpg on gas is around town, without taking any care to conserve fuel but not hammering the motor, So i expect maybe 15-16mpg with care and more on long runs. I find that excellent for the 4.0 motor. Had me mulling over a 950cc fiesta mk3 on gas but that ideas for another decade.

    Mpg on Lpg....... This the right way to work it out ? (Softsh*te)

    Not had car long but worked out what im getting mpg wise, LPG tank went empty so i stuck £33 worth of gas in it @ 75p per litre, Thieving *****.. Got 130 Miles exactly before it ran out. So, (I think this is right, I bunked many a math session) 3,300 divided by 75 = 44 litres. 44L divided...

    Sweet on LPG - Lumpy on Petrol.

    Thats a theory, Thanks, It may also be crap petrol, I doubt its been ran on petrol for a while, One question, If i run it on petrol for a hundred mile or so, Say if it starts to run perfect on petrol for instance, Would it be lumpy if i went back to the gas? Bit new to Lpg. Cheers.

    Boost controller bypassed - Are these reading s normal?

    Seems the wastegate is controlling the boost solely on its own now, 1.2bar - 16-17psi being standard, It must be dumping boost at this pressure as it goes no higher, When it hits 20psi it will go into limp mode as it has overboosted. Problem solved myself i guess.
