I am now looking into fuel.........and there are 4 LPG stations in my area tempted??? YES VERY! Thanks to Papa Lazaroo for doing all the legwork on this though as he seems to have done all the trial and error for proving it can work as it should.

The main fuel saving on the ZS180 is no hard throttle and keep it all below 3000rpm........that done MPG should be good. I say that......and sadly I just cannot stick to that myself.....I love the roar and the power it delivers.

Running on Super Unleaded is supposed to give benefits as well returning higher MPG to the tank.........dunno how or why but it is a consistant report from forum members as well as the press. BP Ultimate was my favourite but I tended to use Tescos Super Unleaded in the ZS frequently before prices spiralled out of control. Tescos being 'Esso' iirc

Cheers Jim, By the way, I was a little miffed at the range I get, until I realised that once the LED Fuel gauge tells me I have used up my fuel, I can still get 80 miles on Empty.

I feel a double entendre coming on......... I can get a total of 600miles provided I empty both my tanks
