Im getting the EF converted to BBQ fuel and wanted to get an idea of how many km's people are getting on the 60l tank? Its one thing what they tell you at a shop and in reality.

I have a EL Gli with Dual fuel. LPG gets me about 350 - 400km's to 68 Litres which is a combo of city and highway. I have 640K on the clock.

Car does need a new ECU and a tune up though.

i get 420km out of a 68L tank, mixed highway and local, whats weird though every now and then i get 340-360MAX when that happens i reset the avg l/100km on the trip computer, next fill i get 420 again, its so weird though cause that shouldnt have anything to do with it, but its done that about 3 times, could it be just a co incidence i dont know but it works so i do it...

19-20L/100km - city/heavy load/stop start/booting it
14-15L/100km - metro/some stop-start/nothing over 80km/h
11-12L/100km - highway/freeway use

i usually get about 350ish k's from 65l of gas of a 1989 ea s pack. me old man drives a 1996 ef and he gets bout the same but as soon as his car hits the highway it jus smells fuel. i remember last time we took it to sydney we got 538 k's of 65l of gas.
i hope that helped.
