Taking this into concideration it would take me 35,000 miles to get my money back. Although I was saving a fair bit more when petrol prices went sky high I could of got my money back in 2 years but if it stays like it is now it will take a whole lot longer.

(BTW get 16.5mpg of gas and 21mpg on petrol)
Your fuel consumption is higher than I would expect on both petrol and lpg (check Jez's reply above). When was the last time it had a stage 0 service and are you using single point spark plugs?

Thanks for the concern but I know my car is tip top. I have spent a lot of dosh getting it just so....

The reason why my mpg is soo low is because of me lead foot. I can get it higher, (up to around 20-22 on LPG) but my god its boring. I guess I am still a kid at heart and like surprising BMW's and Merc's and Saxo's lol.

How different is the performance?
Sorry, actual gas mpg is 18-25, equivalent if using V Power petrol has been up to 55 mpg because of the low cost of gas.
