Just back from France and I was amazed by the old girl. On the motorway I set the cruise control to 70mph and she managed 197 miles from a 55 litre fill of LPG...when the best she had done was 175.

Just goes to show that when the conditions are right, even a V8 is economical.

On the return she managed 180 but I set the cruise at 75 so still, very pleasing.

Happy New Year everyone, I'm off to sample yet more products I brought back from the continent!

What does that work out in MPG?! ;)

1 gallon = 4.54litres - therefore 55 litres = 12.11 gallons

197 miles divided by 12.11 gallons = 16.3mpg

But at around £2.05 a gallon, rather than £4.10! I love LPG...
