Fuel Economy - What do you get out of a tank? (3rd gens only)

[Magna Rookie]

My new record!

8.8/100 km's!!!!

70/30 highway/suburban, i went real easy on it this week, so light on the pedal it wasnt funny, dropped from 9.5. And this was on 'budget' petrol to!


(3L-Auto) Im stocked!

I used to fairly predictably get 12 - 13L / 100K regardless of whether I used my air-con / not, thrashed it / not, drove country k's / not (etc). Didn't seem to be much I could do to get it to change.

Since I got my car put onto gas, petrol k's are more up around 15L/100K, but the trade off is that I'm getting a fairly similar mileage on LPG.
Last 3 tanks:
65.4L - 398KM = 16.4L/100 (lots of air-con and a bit of thrashing)
66.2L - 426KM = 15.5L/100 (no air con and a bit of thrashing)
65.8L - 432KM = 15.2L/100 (no air con and general placid driving, only very rare thrash)

Given current ratio of LPG price to gas price of somewhere from:
65.9 : 146 (1:2.21)
to
67.9 : 162 (1:2.39)

That's about the same (price wise) as getting something in the vicinity of 6.8L/100K

Pretty pleased with that.
A little shat off at the power decrease that I took to both petrol and gas when it got installed, but for the 50% saving in fuel costs, it really is worth it.
