This is why hardly anyone uses LPG. You get half the economy for half the
price. So you might aswell run it on petrol as it will cost just the same.

You got that seriously wrong Andrew. Despite my concerns over gas
consumption I am still saving serious money. Running a Jag on fuel costs
of 11 - 12p per mile. It cost me the same to run my previous Renault
Scenic and I know what I would rather drive!!!

Wrong indeed Andrew
I get the same on LPG as I do on Petrol
If your car is bad on LPG then its because it needs tuning or the system you
have is not suited to your car

No, it's fine, same as mine did when I had it, only reason I got rid
was the bad paint job, jags of that age (1996) seemed to have bad
laquer and would peel off with a fingernail !! smoothest ride ever
though !!
