Yes automatic. Grabber tyres, not sure if that is relevant.
Filling up every 135 miles is quite often at the moment!

Hi thanks for the reply - can you take a look at my figures below - doe this seem about right or do you think there is an error here? I am bemused.

OK so you think hang in there and I will see improvement?
My maths tell me on petrol, the 80 litre tank was giving me 313 miles so c 17 mpg.
The LPG is giving me 10 LPG. (55 litres, 133 miles).
I aint making much of a saving - cost per mile 33p vs 36p.

We do fill up a lot - so for a 70 litre tank (we get it up to 55l about) we only get about 133 miles.

It should have got better, more common, with better tech/more pumps.
It seems to have gone backward?

Its done 65k miles and I bought it at a very good price. My initial plan as I do 15k miles a year was to LPG it but I spoke to a Land Rover mechanic...
