My Rover 75 Connoisseur SE by Temp 1



Temp 1
Hey guys I have just joined and thought I would put up a few pics of my new car. She is a "54" plate Conni SE in firefrost red. The car is fittd with a Staico LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) system and 70L tank (58 usable). At the moment I get about 24 MPG from a mixture of town and motorway driving. The equivallent figure is about 46-48 mpg which I think is quite good. I buy my gas from Morisons in Falkirk at 69.9 PPL. Below is a few pictures of my new car. I had a 75 before in zircon silver, there is a pic of that too.

Looking good!

Is 24mpg about right for a 1.8? Mine's a diesel 75 but still hankering after a petrol ZT (not instead of, as well!!)

Btw, pic 4 - like our house, with a red 75 and an MX5! :-)

I believe running on LPG you take a hit of between 10 and 20 percent due to the lower calorific value, I would preface that by saying the type of system can have an effect on your mpg figures as well.
