Mine is just slightly less than Dannyboy`s, when On petrol, but my right foot is slightly heavy. However when im on LPG i get about double that :lol:. there is one for sale on ebay (already converted) [linkurl=]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Frontera-3-2i-V6-Limited-lpg-gas-4X4-/270846556330?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f0fb678aa#ht_1378wt_1270 [/linkurl]. my conversion cost about that alone, but paid for itself in fuel savings in 9 months. :dance:

i get around 18 around town but i live in a hilly part of nottingham and i get 25 to 28 on a run but i run mine on LPG and i had mine remapped for more power but there is a gas conversion kit on ebay at present for abourt 500 and so would be worth getting if you are getting on as it will pay for itself i a year. i get around 200 miles around town for 30 a week.

but then i have a serious lead foot so would get a lot better if i drove like a vicar.

if nothing else go and get a test drive you will not look at a smaller ones the same.
