I'm chuffed as my last car only did ave of 18 MPG and when you had lead foot 4 MPG !

I'm guessing he's talking equivalent (on a cost basis) to petrol mpg but he's running lpg. Petrol has come down but gas hasn't come down as mch so I think he's slipped up on the ast bit.

The plot thickens!!! I had thought he might mean LPG equivelant on cost grounds but still couldnt make the maths work that way either, then I thought maybe MPG in Nathans worls doesnt stand for Miles Per Gallon... but couldnt work out what it could stand for... Now??? I really have other stuff I should be doing instead of this!!!!!

metres per gallon


Though I did one get mpg around that on a laning trip in the dales - came back on the back of an AA wagon - a much cheaper trip alround.

My wifes hates my Mav as well, she will not drive it and keeps harping on about the Disco we used to have!
So, even though I'll be sorry to let it go, I need to sell the Mav asap just to get some peace & quiet.

Any buyers interested??????

How did this get here?

Wanaron did mention his missus hated the car and so does mine!

Apologies if you are offended

Youve got to hand it to Thomas for trying to sell his Mav

Or subtract, multiply or divide.
