Must be something in the air!

I always liked the bowtie grill. Looks great. I'd love to know what you get for mileage on that LPG system.

I have about 12-13 mpg...
or 18 - 20 liter on 100 km.

Thank you. That's financially better than my 2015 4.8L was.

Do you actually track your mpg accurately? Does the conversion affect your trip computer? Did you replace your valves and seats? Asking you what the conversion cost is like apples and oranges for us. Can your same tanks fit in a 135" wheel base Savana? Are they all underneath or is one or two in the cargo hold? And most importantly, how many litres of LPG can you hold?

I might need to convert, my needle is moving far faster than my last van. I'm scared it's true... you actually might not be able to believe everything you read on the internet.

the exact consumption I post in 2-3 weeks.

the cylinder heads were not edited.

We wait until a harm is. then is made.

the plant took €3,400 in Germany. with recessed.

much cheaper than the $14000 Chevy.

I have 2 tanks under the car.

1 tank (105 liters) behind the axle and second (70 l) left the frame.





140 liters are effectively.

the last time it was enough for 700 km.

whether the second at the 135 "fits?

It is 105 cm long.

currently costs drive:

petrol 16 litre x 1.5 € ---> 24 €

gas 20 litre x 0.6 € ---> 12 €

... that half

I hope I could help... If more ask... like

I again...

the consumption is 19/20 liter gas - 100 km.

These are 12 mpg.

average speed:

City 50-60 km/h (35 mph) ~ 20%


overland 100-120 km/h (70 mph) ~ 50 %

and highway 140 km/h (85 mph) ~ 30 %
