It also appears to have no chassis number which may make registering fo the road fun*

Its in pence per mile equivilent..

 

£10 lpg at 55.7p/l gives 17.95l (approx 3.95 gal)

 

If the car does 20mpg on gas it can go almost 80 miles on £10

 

Lpg consumption is usually 15% or so more than petrol- so lets say the same car does 24mpg on petrol..

 

£10 at £1.18.9/l gets you 8.41l (1.85 gal)

So it'd do 44.4 miles on the £10 of petrol.

 

For it to do 80 miles on the 1.85 gal of petrol it'd need to do 43.2mpg..

 

Hope that makes sense?

It does, but it still doesnt make the car do 60 MPG, it just makes the cost per mile on LPG a bit cheaper than petrol.

I always love reading the wild claims owners make about their LPG cars.  After persevering with three LPG vehicles over the years, I can confirm if it's economy and long-term sanity you're after- stick with diesel.

My Disco gets 14mpg on petrol,12 on gas

But as the gas costs less than half it works out at 24mpg

He's saying that 5litres of petrol gets him say 30 miles,the equivalent cost in lpg will get him 60

With that name on the cert I'm surprised the seller hasn't tried to get more £££ by trying the celebrity owner angle and claiming it was owned by the drummer from Queen. I think he's more into Ferraris than old Rovers though.

 

Would that get extra £££?  I've just this minute sold Mike Rutherford's* old LWB Shogun.  Didn't push the rock memorabilia angle.

Slow to sell too at that price, even if it is the best* Dolomite colour.
