20 MPG on LPG

[The Poond]

Just thought I'd confuse things a little by telling you that I get average 20 MPG in my 2004 V. It is converted to run on LPG as well as Petrol. This equates to around 40MPG at petrol prices.

The problem is that LPG only give around 80% of the MPG that petrol does. On Petrol I only get about 21 MPG so where is the logic in that as I shoul dbe getting 25 !!

NOTE: LPG may be half the price of petrol but do not convert a CR-V to LPG as it [please refrain from posting vulgar speech] the valves.

does it damage your valves even if your lpg conversion has a flash lube system installed.

I have always heard LPG was good for you valves, and all internals.

There should be a way to do a Direct Injection setup with the LPG and I think that it would work better.

LPG gives 10% - 15% LOWER mileage than gasoline.The advantage of LPG is lower cost per liter.
