What is your tank size and how many miles would you get from a tank of motorway driving?

Mine has an 85 ltr tank (I think) average fill is £40/£45 and it depends what motoring we are doing, driving up to Whetherby 254 miles I do on a single fill with cruise set at 2800 rpm on the Motorway. Local driving around 200 miles per fill up, biggest and best surprise was pulling the horse box seems to have little effect on the numbers.
In fact we recently took the horses down into the New Forest so M23, M25, M3, M27/A31 on cruise at 55mph almost 280 miles before I needed a fill up brilliant.
I just hope that not to many people take up LPG because if they do it will become interesting to our Chancellor who will then tax the hell out of it no doubt.

Dont forget if you let the tank empty then fil it you will get a better range than if you fill the tank from half empty

I was told that if the tank is empty then the initial burst of liquid evaporates cooling the tank. This keeps the pressure down allowing more liquid into the tank before the pump trips off. I only have a small tank but the range can be up to 30 miles different.
