Yes really strange as you’re not using any oil so my theory might be wrong but the whole point is it seems to be no way of knowing if your engine is going to be okay or not on 95 or 99 so the only ways is to try both like me 95 brilliant 99 is a waste of Money for me.

Just tell me how much difference between shell 95 fuel saver to Tesco 99 momentum.. I bet they r same price but why should I use fuel saver which when I done car was struggle and then I tried nearly all grades.. what I found 102ron is great some places calls racing fuel I think it was 100 octane 99/97(which bp has but really high price) I think this high rims for sport or fast cars which I think Elgrand engine on this group.and if Tesco 99 and shell fuel saver is nearly same price why should I use 95ron for my car.. just I told my experience with different ron.. this is endless talk if u happy with 95 carry on with it but I wasn't happy with it and use high grade fuel.even I done 3k miles in 5 days still used high octane fuel .. which I LL always do .. premium fuel premium oil..

ENOUGH of this lpg, 95, 99 102/3 nonsense, Can we go back a few hundred entries and discuss the really important issue. Which is better Warburtons or Hobbs?......

Non of them. The tiger French stick things baked fresh in store rule the roost 😃

Had a Range Rover 4.4 V8 that was an LPG conversion, couldn't have kept it on the road if it wasn't! Looking at converting the Elgrand, has anyone else done this?

I just had my 2nd trip out to the safari park, in our Elgrand, owned it for a couple of weeks now.

I reset the trip and km/l gauge just as I set off.

This was probably 30% city and 70% motorway, but also spent about an hour or so creeping around the safari park stopping and starting for the kids to look at the animals (didn't dare go through the baboon enclosure much to the grumbles and moaning from the wife and kids)

These are what my gauges said when I got home.

So just under half a tank of petrol to do 152 miles. Which (as a day out for the family) I didn't think was too bad at all.

I think people get too caught up in what mpg they get, I think I will eventually get Lpg though as I want to have this car for a long time. I love it.

:)
 
Well that's because you are mistaking the km/h speedo for a mph one and driving slower than everyone else:yum

even you can get more when i use petrol 410 km half tank ( but 40-70mph coz of road work) but in europe 60lt 703km which was good and i was 70-110 mph (not km),, in the end i put lpg and paid itself less than 4k miles

@Lpgc
Hi Simon
Ian here again....
Still having rotten mpg both on petrol and lpg.....I took it over to a garage I always use and she put the Ellie on an exhaust mot tester.....both petrol and lpg was running very lean in all rev ranges except when it was idling and which it was rich....she has advised me to put a treatment through it when I get down to a quart of a tank....it's the same as cetacean....she says it's very good stuff and should clean deposits in the engine sensors etc....
Could it be that there a vacuum leak somewhere or something reatached wrongly when I had the lpg installer....there are no misfiring cel lights or any other codes.im still only getting about 10mpg on both lpg and petrol....
Cheers Ian
