Hey Joe,

My brother organised a gas install on it without asking my oppinion so yeh its already done unfortunatly and i dont its that crash hot thats the reason for this thread. Im going to make some time 2 come and see you in regards to my Airod system as it needs a new computer as you may remember.

I was going to call you 2 weeks ago about the wheels but my mate wanted them so he is actually picking them up this weekend. Sorry Joe

Mine's between 15-17lp 100, voted 17, Probably high because I'm in the inner inner city,the normal 100 meters between trafic lights, lightens right up on country trip, Canberra return with it reading a bit under a quarter still to go on return- should have refilled to get an exact.

EF6 ,Straight gas , good old fashion negative system, Impco 200 mixer, model E vapouriser 85(WC) tank 68L(?) useable

Factory LPG on my EL and I average 12-13L/100km. Id like to get it lower, perhaps with a fresh motor (300k kms) manual and exhaust but not sure if I could be bothered.
Not sure on a city only figure, as I live around Canberra which is pretty open.
