    Unhappy 140Km on 50ltr LPG

    Hi.
    I had gas injection fitted 3 weeks ago to my 1998 V8 Disco, and I’m getting 140km on 50ltrs of LPG. Granted I’m ultra Urban in the Sydney jams but it seems a little poor to me.
    I’m running on normal road tyres with an empty car and the only modifications are a roof rack and a steel bull bar.

    Oooh - I had to work that out in L/100Km, and it comes to 35.7L/100Km, which would make it cheaper to run on petrol

    Better call up your installer and have a chat.

    what sort of economy were you getting out of petrol?

    I had a gas injection install done to my D1 with 4.6 and get around 18 - 19 ltrs per hundred towing my camper. It has had some work on the exhaust side of things including work to the heads.

    Power is up slightly and economy is at least the same as it was on petrol if not better.

    I came from a holden commodore and got my first Disco a few months ago.

    I have done a couple of holiday trips from Sydney to Grafton and my fuel bills were twice that of the commodore with similar weight in the car and a surfboard on the roof.

    Everyone told me the V8 was going to be thirsty but, WOW... I think we worked it out to be 17.5 Ltr per 100Km and that was at a steady cruising speed of 100-105Km/hr

    I have been following the chip thread and think I need to get my car Dyno tested to see if there is anything that can be done to improve the economy.


    I know the problem is not my right foot, I'm the slowest off the lights and always have been, so much so it is a running joke in the family.

    Dude if I get 17l/100k in LPG I'm jumping for joy, That's softly softly on the pedal on long highway drives.

    55l gets me 250k around town and 320 on the highway and off road all bets are off!

    Used to run LPG on my 1990 rangie

    Average around town was 220k's for 50 litres and would hit 300k's for 50litres on the highway

    Sorta wish I kept it on LPG with the petrol prices now! but had no way else to fit my Engel and subwoofer in the back as the fricken tank took up half the rear space

    Should be double that.
    Average on a V8 Disco or RR should be between 16 - 20l per 100kms depending n load or towing. And that was on my RR and was not injection.
