Mine has a 50 litre tank in the spare wheel well, I get 200miles approx to a tank full.
That 850 is a single point LPG conversion, so not the best, even so, you should get 500+ out of it.
I'm paying 55p per litre, so that 200 x 0.55 =n £110

Thanked 1,005 Times in 711 PostsIt is all very bizarre - the John Holmes of LPG tanks (if you know who he is you will understand, otherwise you don't need to know) neither use nor ornament. Maybe somebody borrowed the LPG unit from a bus-garage spares bin where he worked. I had a dodgy mate as a youngster who did resprays on the side. He worked for Shell - so long as you wanted a yellow car, it was, I gather, just fine. Flying banana owners amongst you take note!
