Re: Answers please
I think all the petrols are 2wd.
I have talked to owners of 2lt petrol who get 28-30mpg.

Re: Answers please
mine did about 18 - 20 mpg on LPG a 2L or 320 to 340 kilometre per 51 l tank. Never filled it full of petrol so cant give you those figures.
Hope this helps

My May 08 til Jan 09 Km/L graph below(top graph the other is £/L);

Multiply by 2.82 to get mpg which is about 7.5*2.82=21mpg.
The TomTom is with the Bongo at the moment and that's not where I am, so not the latest data.
Its V6 2wd.

2l might struggle a bit towing Haydn
Not towing Haydn - he's not heavy, I mean towing an Eriba. Stick with a diesel

Re: Answers please
Does all that mean that when you drive your V6 on LPG you get 21MPG and a gallon costs about 60% of what a gallon of petrol costs ??
Which would equate to about 37 MPG by cost ???
If you see what I mean (not sure I know what I mean)

Re: Answers please
