Discovery 1 LPG MPG...
« on: February 15, 2012, 18:21:23 »
Quick question...
Other half is looking at a 96 v8 lpg... Just wondering what sort of MPG it would get? I know this is probably a can of worms but hey ho...

Cheers

12 to 15 seems to be average from my observation of such threads.

My previous manual used to return 16/17 on LPG and only a bit better on petrol.

The current automatic only gives 12/14 on LPG and no noticeable improvement on petrol. I once got 15 on a long run with the cruise control on most of the time and regularly get less than 10 when towing the caravan  :cry:

Still love it to bits  :grin:
