If it makes you feel any better I can get mine to drink a gallon in 10 miles :?

Mines at about that stage currently! :(

Range Rover Blues:
:shock:

Oh dear, and what engine do you have there?

ibruceuk:
3.5 Efi, it's currently acheiving between 9 and 10 to the gallon on LPG but it seems to be regardless of whether it's unladen or towing a 3.5 tonne trailer!

Petrol I think is worse, but without the gold reserves of a small country I can't afford enough petrol to get a decent mpg figure for it.

Range Rover Blues:
Oh cr4p, the 3.5 was the very best for economy and 19mpg is not unheard of for gentle touring.  You may be pleasantly surprised with your petrol economy as I'd imagine your LPG system is fairly rudimentary.

Try an ignition advance module, I paid £60 for RRR and about £150 from Chris Perfect for the Iwema one, keep it in the cab though as they don't like water.  It will give you a few extra BHP on LPG and more importantly a bit of extra economy.

Is your compression ok?  is your engine a bit tappety by any chance?

Is the timing correct?
