LPG Consumption

Sshanaz on 31/05/2014 - 06:52

I have got Ford Falcon with factory fitted LPG system and it's fuel consumption seem to be very high.

I only drive around the Sydney Inter west area and it's costing me 25.9L/100KM but I think it should be around 20L/100KM.

Is there something I could do to reduce the consumption?

+1

My old Prado gets 17.8l/100km. Sounds like something is pretty wrong. I would have expected you would get around 12l/100km.

  Agreed..
  Our Magna does no worse than 14L/100 in heavy stop start traffic.
  About 11L/100Km in the country.
  
  If it's an EcoLPI Falcon, you should be seeing close to 10L/100Km.. ie pretty much the same as petrol.

      is that dash reading or calculation from actual?

      Multiple calculations from multiple trips filling at the same pump as a general rule.
      Running well inflated Ecopia Tyres which has improved Fuel Efficiency marginally.

I had 93 Falcon and I was getting around 14l per 100k so well worth getting yours checked out. Have Aurion now and getting 11 from that.

Direct injection or on top of carby?

Fuel consumption depends a huge amount on how you drive. Are you an aggressive reactive driver or someone who looks ahead in traffic and accelerates / coasts accordingly?

  I am not aggressive driver.
  
  I tend to accelerate according to traffic.
