The bloke said it should have been like yours with a tank at the end of the boot and probably 120l.
I have been getting 240 miles between fill-ups when doing lots of motorway runs but drops to around 190 on normal A/B roads, so hoping for a bit of an improvement.

Filled up in a garage yesterday near where I had the work done (Huddersfield) and they are only charging 56p a litre.., the ones local to me are asking 69p...... a big difference

I have a 125L tank across the back, and the most I've ever managed to get into it was 98 litres. Because we don't have much in the way of motorways here, and I do quite a lot of short runs, I get just over 300 between fillups. I average around 17.5mpg, whereas during the meet in June I averaged 21.3mpg.

Having said that, I did a very rough calculation the other night to see how much the LPG conversion is worth. Getting the job done cost me £1,500. I've bought 3,000 litres of LPG since then, and taking the price I used to pay for petrol per litre, I've saved around £1,800. So, in theory, it's paid for itself in less than a year. I know this doesn't take into account the current cost of petrol (which I have no idea of), or the fact that the LPG doesn't return the same economy as petrol, but it's a rough guide for me.

BTW My local charges 74.9p for LPG, which is one of the cheapest around. Have you checked out http://www.filllpg.co.uk/?page=lpg.php which gives a map of the LPG sites and their costs? It doesn't have 100% coverage, as it relies on users to update it, and I know one that isn't on it (and they charge 79.9p).
