My old 3.5 manual 81 rangie would get 350 k's per 70 ltrs around town and up to 370 on the highway. 85 3.5 3spd auto rangie was lucky to get 250-300 city.

3.9 auto disco and i get about 220'ks to a 60l tank
95 disco es auto. 66 lt 350-370 km all highway runs
Is vapour injection likely to be any better?
Its ECU controlled so should be better and without any power loss.Quote:

thats just around town too i have'nt gone for a hirhway run yet (no more than 80k's each way)
I can't believe how much LPG the larger V8's consume!!! Here I am aiming for 5.5Km/L Last fuel up I got 5.4Km/L!
Thats about average. The only way you would do better is to go to a dedicated lpg only set up and then it is only marginally better. This is how my old RRC is set up (my Dad has now) and is currently getting around 750kms per 110 litres.
4.2 litre stroker. I got a lot less, but I had a lead foot non injected motor.
Mine is a LPG only setup. 12:1 CR, Evaporative though. I don't have the LPG injection system.Quote:

300 - 350km seems to be the norm per 70L fill.
The direct vapour injection is great - no power loss that I've noticed. Starts on petrol & changes over on it's own once the engine is warm. Changes are so smooth you can't feel it, even under full power!
