All interesting stuff , good response , keep it coming please ... Those figures are about what i remember when i was working with these cars from conception until the end ..
The tank is 10 gallons by the way , so anyone should get over 300 miles to a tank easily , there is still a lot of fuel left when the light comes on .. unless you run it dry you cannot base any fuel consumption measurement by "tankfulls" .. My 1980 343 was on LPG from 1979 to 1990 .

The CVT was horrendously thirsty when it wasn't working properly .
If you never went over 60 mph and it was working properly consumption could be good .

I have a lot to say later about how to improve the fuel consumption ..
