No direct experience but given LPG provides substantially lower MPG than petrol this figure does not surprise me at all since with petrol you’d probably only get 15 or 16 MPG? |

LPG has a 20% lower calorific value so you will use more for the same power output. So to go from 15 /16 mpg down to 12/13 mpg is about right. 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal |
