Default Lpg

Well I haven't a Volvo on L P G but have run a 1.8 mondeo on gas and I own a transit 2 litre on gas, in my opinion both get crap mpg on lpg, my diesel v70 does 44mpg all day long...

Yes the LPG MPG is low but with cost of LPG at 1/2 that of Diesel 23MPG relates to 46 MPG in pennies Thats why I run LPG.

23-26 mpg in our 2002 S80 Auto bifuel with the same 2.4 engine. On a long run probably nearer 30mpg, so something sadly wrong with your cars setup.

I've got factory fitted V40 1.8 and get 180 miles out of 33 L, give or take. I drive 25 - 30 miles round trip each day on rural roads.
