i dont think dan is being patronising or agressive...there is no way a g40 is getting 56mpg..its as simple as that...lets wait and see as you said when your tank is empty and see what you get.. :)

well in reality of course it wont be anywhere near 50mpg as you get less mpg from LPG than normal petrol (as it has a lower calorific value) but because it's like half the price that more than makes up for it.

I get anywhere between about 22-27 mpg in my G40 which has been rolling roaded with 150bhp. I dont think thats too bad really. If I do long journeys on the motorway though, crusing around 60-70, I get up to around 30

the difference between doing a nice long journey and lots of starting in the morning and going to work and back in fuel consumption is quite considerable i find!  feel like the gauge is lower everytime i start the bleeding thing and when it gets past the 1/4 mark it flies down!!  if im driving for a long period it seems to last a lot longer!
