Nope, 371 miles on this tank and it cost around £44 to fill again, I made an exact note of the figures yesterday when I did the calculation. We have a torpedo tank in the boot but I'm seriously thinking about installed a second doughnut tank in the spare wheel well, which would then give us about 650 miles between refills.

Yep, I think that LPG needs to be carefully considered and certainly isn't for everyone. I must admit that playing hunt the LPG station on a journey can be a little annoying however more and more motorway services now seem to carry it. I don't think I would ever pay to have a car converted as the payback period is just too long however you can pick up cars that have already been converted for just a little more then a standard one, and it makes sense then. Our ZS does at least 55 miles a day so even with the hefty repair bill recently it's still paying for itself.
I think that now if you drive a high(ish) mileage then you have 2 choices, LPG which allows you to drive a stonking V6 or diesel which allows you to drive a tractor..........so personally it's a no brainer for me!
