Figures to date
1,137 Klms using 331 litres at a cost of $261.88c
1,137 Klms divided 331 litres = 3.4 Klms per litre
I've divided some individual tanks and the figures works out at 3.65 Klm per litre.
Technically....if I were to run her to empty (72 x 3.4 Klms) = 244.8 Klm range.
I do mainly city driving ... but do have a number of possible trip to the country (South of Perth) and I'd like to take the Rangie.
Should I work on average 200 Klms to a tank leaving (45 Klms) as a buffer to get to the next service station to fill up.
That way I can plan on a map distances and ring service stations along my planned route with LPG availability.
All thoughts appreciated,
Baggy

G'day. Me again. Having been there, done that, including a work Falcon ute on dedicated gas (with a 600 plus km range), I'd never feel comfortable not having both fuels available in your case/scenario. Others may tell a different story, but I never got significantly better economy on country trips (but did sit on the speed limit plus a couple wherever I went). So, definitely don't rely on more than 200 km per tank! However, I do concur they run so much cleaner on gas.
Cheers Gavin
