Took my mum to her brothers in Corbridge near Newcastle yesterday. 295 mile round trip. Brimmed tank just been down and refilled, 45.5ltrs she took. Kept it between 65 and 70 only once straying over 70 Equates to about 30 mile to gallon, trip computer says 29.4. So not bad at all. Am happy with that.

Petrol or diesel mate??? good return either way and your speeds would have been around the sweet spot too for max economy.Took my mum to her brothers in Corbridge near Newcastle yesterday. 295 mile round trip.

After all the talk of wheel arches, decided it was time to get mine seen to. So Golden Girl went to see the painty, rubby, pretty dress ( hers not his), man. She is booked in for start of September! He's busy until then

I used it to take my son to the fishing shop then went fishing on the Thames, then the Way navigation canal, never caught any thing but was nice to get out
Remember years ago had a V8 rover SD1 which had a misfire. Just couldn't find the fault till I lifted bonnet on a very dark night light where there was not any light and noticed one one the plugs tracking. A very good clean with paraffin and paint brush and all was well. May be worth a try
Do you think you'd get tracking on lpg but not petrol?
I'm thinking of taking the coil pack out tomorrow and seeing if the resistance is a bit low
Thought tracking was electrical related. ie cracked parts, dirty /oily parts causing any current find the path of least resistance. An old trick my did showed me years ago if you went to auction take a lead pencil and draw a line along distributor cap from a HT lead and you could get tracking and hence misfire. Would put people off , you get the car cheap clean distributor cap and away you go. The lead line was not noticeable
You're right it is, but LPG makes it harder for the spark, finding weak spots on the system
Sorry kermit can't help you on that one. No experience with LPG
I'm no expert either
but i own a hammer

The LPG system most likely just needs a good service. Often overlooked which in turn leads to faults and failure. I have owned 3 LPG cars in the past, bloody brilliant and i always had them serviced once a year to keep them 100%. There is not a lot that can go wrong TBH. Split hoses somewhere, coils, filter or the electrical box. Any competant LPG installer will be able to diagnose the problem.
