LPG has less BTU value of gasoline so requires a greater amount to get the same power so uses more. LPG is less efficient than gasoline. The garage was lying.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:As I read it that's not what he is saying.YaTingPom wrote:How big was the petrol tank, 40l?

300 miles from a tank of LPG (75l).
240 Miles from a tank of petrol.
LPG far, far cheaper to run. Slight extra cost for more frequent oil changes.
Either way LPG gives min 20% less mpg. Even more if you've a bad install. (Likely in KOW!) but then it cost less so...
Also, did you buy the Tacoma with the kit already installed. If not how much was the install?
He got more miles (300 vs 240) from a smaller tank (75L vs 80L).
His experience seems to be very different from the 20% less mpg you are suggesting with LPG.
Unless I am reading it wrong... but his experience is similar to what the garage told me when I installed last week.
1 gallon of LPG has 73% of the energy of one gallon of gasoline.
