Yes, I was going to suggest that as an option.

Fuel gauges are notoriously misleading. Just because it says full doesn't mean the tank is.

The S40 1.8 bi fuel should do about 8.1l/100km on petrol and about 10.4l/100km on lpg (mixed driving)

Whilst lpg consumption is about 25% more than petrol, remember that petrol is about twice as expensive as lpg.

for now- until more people have switched to it, then they will up the TAX!

back on the subject, i have now had my car back and i have been running around in it.

it seems that it is costing 10p a mile to drive i.e. 17£ gives me 170 miles.
however, is there a way to tune a nissan tino to use less LPG as it shouldnt be drinking 40 litres to go 200 miles surely?

how many miles do you get on 40 litres of petrol?

so you get 23 mpg on lpg and 32 mpg on petrol,it seems fair enough to be honest,you wont get the same economy with lpg as you do petrol.
