Had my converted 4 years ago, insurer at the time refused to insure as engine mod. Went to Chris Knott which reduced my insurance and had a full (remaining balance) from first insurer. Now with Admiral but all price have stayed £300-£350 doing 30K per year with business cover. I save £2K - £2.5K per year on fuel.

DC850...

I have just had my first long distance trip in the car since buying it a couple of weeks ago and have clocked up 330 motorway miles in 3 days and im almost sure that the XC is not a million miles away from what my S60 D5 did on exactly the same trip regarding the amount of money spent on fuel !

The XC was obviously driven a lot more sensibly than a saloon car on the motorways which can only help but think i will be extremely happy with the purchase of that engine as the move from an Diesel to petrol lpg seemed like it was going to come back and bite me on the a$#e !!

Still not sure on the filling up process but am getting used to it slowly...

What consumption are you getting with the 3.2 now that you have had it a while to moninor consumption?

Consumption, far better than i had anticipated for a big petrol 4x4.

On a sensible motorway run i am seeing circa 50mpg

Around town i am getting 25 ish

But that is dependant on whether i am driving or my lead footed partner !

Excellent for a 3.2 dont you think
