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

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

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)
