any1 know what mpg i should expect on lpg 2.4 volvo v70, when on lpg.

volvobaggen · Nov 13th, 2012, 18:25

I have the 855 with the NA 2.435L b5252s engine.

On country roads I used 0.8 litres of petrol pr 10 km. With lpg I use 0.9 litres of Lpg pr 10 km.

Many people say that they use about 10-15% more lpg than petrol after converting.

my 1999 V70 cross country averaged about 23 mpg on lpg and about 25 on petrol.

I know someone who used to have a V70 with a LPG tank fitted, he used to say he'd get about 10% to 15% less when it was being run on LPG to Petrol (depending if it was short or longer runs) and he'd get middle'ish 20’s when on Petrol.

He now drives a V70 Diesel (163bhp D5)...

Got a factory bi-fuel that's returning about 25mpg on LPG

My automatic 2.5 10v LPG conversion gives 30 to 31 mpg on petrol, and 26 to 28mpg on LPG.

Should add that it's an auto for comparison, and prob does about 30 on petrol.

Factory BiFuel. 26-28mpg on petrol. 24-26mpg on CNG. Auto. Never seen better, but I've jsut found a faulty lambda so we'll see.

I've just returned from a 1,500 mile run to Baden-Baden in Germany.

My calculated economy on LPG has returned 24mpg, that's sitting at 85mph indicated (true 80mph) on the motorways in France - higher speed limit before anyone says anything

LPG is comparatively more expensive though in France at around 0.98 cents/litre on the autoroutes

Made a bigger than expected hole in the finances!
