I put a tenner of Asda 129.7p muck in on Wednesday night. Done 50 miles and it is back to empty again. Ouch.

Could be a whole host of things wrong with your car that's guzzling the fuel.0

Depends on where you drove also ie town/city or open road. Also style of driving can effect consumption and or speed if on main roads.0

Your right, I'd be lucky to get 30 miles on a tenner. :eek:0 -
I remember grumbling around the v early 60's that I was having to pay just over a £1 (a good old paper one, after that things went wrong) to fill my Mini's tank up to full. It went up by 1d (an old penny = a 1/2 new one!!) a GALLON (4.54 lts) one evening at 6pm and everyone at the filling station was put out to say the least. Mind you untill the MIni came along in 1959 most cars would be hard pushed to do more than 30mpg. My 1200 side valve Ford, if I was lucky, got on a run 28. With my 'modern' 1400cc car working it all out petrol costs me 10% more than then. Wasn't litres a con?0

It was used up on half duel carriageway half town driving. 1.4ltr Pug 206. Probably A heavy right foot.0

I'm getting about or just over 200 miles for £30, that's driving at normal speed, well normal for a 3.2 24v petrol auto.
Just love LPG...;)0
