4.6is LPG real life economy figures

Post by weirdfish » Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:02 pm

As you know I'm in the market for a 4.6 lpg, I've owned the 4.4 version, so I know the figures for that, but I'm wondering if anyone on here runs the 4.6 with lpg and could give me some "real life" economy figures.
Thanx.

Out of interest was your 4.4 a facelift or prefacelift and what real world figures did you get from that? I am in the market for a facelift 4.4 ad have seen a couple of stunning examples but would be interested to hear how you found yours?

i used to have an lpg x5 and the point here is it does 15-16 mpg but a gallon of gas is like £4 as opposed to £7 is it not, so thats how the saving comes in, my lpg x5 used to use alot of petrol as well even on gas
