    An autogas vehicle typically does 20-25% less mpg than a petrol vehicle and 35-50% less mpg than diesel. This is because the energy content per unit volume of autogas is around 25% lower than petrol and much lower than diesel.

    SC, the Omega does 20% less but the MINI has been nearer to 10% less so far, it varies car to car. The MINI is pretty uneconomical for a 1.6 so thats probably why the difference is less pronounced.

    The MINI returned 30mpg during over the last 90 miles, but as its 2.5 times less to buy that equats to 75 mpg! 30mpg would give us a 270 mile range leaving a gallon in the tank.

    Bad Dog, do you have the Mini computer thingy on your indicator stalk and in your display? And if so does it show you your actual MPG for the gas as well as the petrol? Does I be makin sense?

    Er, I do have the stalk thingy but it doesn't match up with LPG. The gas system uses the signal from the petrol injectors and adds a bit of extra time to the open signal as the gas has a lower specific energy and therefore more fuel is needed with gas. The system also monitors the exhaust lamda sensor and alters the amount of fuel entering the engine if its running too rich or lean.

    The fuel computer monitors the time that the petrol injectors are open to work out how much fuel is being used, however with gas it usually over reads by 15% so if it says 35mpg the actual figure on gas is nearer 30mpg.

    Latest part tank of fuel took me 210 miles and cost £13.81 to refill. So this trip down south is working out to be the cheapest yet :)
