How does it feel power wise comparing running on LPG to petrol?
Be also interested to know what sort of fuel economy it gets between LPG & petrol over the next few weeks.

Why can't I like your posts???
Welcome to the club, Dickie. I've just done a week and 2500km around Victoria for about $250 in gas, paying between 58-65cpl all the way. Now you get to enjoy the Barge and still have money to buy a nice lunch when you get to the end of the cruise!

I went for a drive to Gympie today. Caltex Carseldine to the Kybong Roadhouse (136KM) 15.9L of LPG = 11.69Lt per 100KM on LPG. I think that is about 1.5Lt - 2Lt per 100Km more than on 95.

It's quite a heavy car as well.
I bet you will enjoy owning this one for a very long time Richard.

I don't think it will be better on the Urban. City driving on LPG very quickly fills the EDI box with very big blue lines.Fuel Consumption Urban (L/100km) 27.1
The biggest number I could get out of the distance to empty was 1100km after refuelling at Kybong Roadhouse.

I've quite easily done 25L/100km out of mine with a bit of right foot activity. Average around Canberra is between 18-20L/100km.

Canberra isn't exactly traffic jam central. You're more at risk of taking the wrong exit at a roundabout and having to circle around for the next hour to get back to the correct exit

How's the car been going recently Richard?
Any updates?
