38 MPG?!

Think I'll trade in my lpg ZT-T 260 that I can only get 32mpg from it! :D

It's a 190 V6 so maybe 38MPG is possible on the motorways :)

My ZS180 averaged 29MPG on mixed runs.

Best I ever got from my 190 was 31

So it is - assumed it was 260 as it came through on my 260 alert from Trovit - my 190 used to average 43mpg on lpg and when I finally, (reluctantly) parted with her, the computer was giving 31mpg average on petrol

I thought LPG gave slightly worse mpg than petrol?

Or was that "equivalent" mpg?

Yes, I'm talking equivalent - my 190 would actually do about 25 on LPG, which works out to 43-45 equiv and the 260 is about 17, which is 30-32 depending on how well you buy the gas (75.9p at the moment). Another major factor, of course, is how much you use the loud pedal - needs to be 'checked' regularly ;)

Update - 208 miles on 48.77 litres at steady 70mph (honest, officer) - worked out to 35mpg equivalent.

Had a little 'clear out' on V-Power unleaded before the next fill up though-£10 did 25 miles! :YB
