I'll try to get some more info from him re and LPG speciffic changed that BOC may have made to the engine but:

My 'modus operandi' is to fill her to the gills up at the Todd Rd Shell (next to the westgate bride) when heading up. Then on the way home I fill again at the same spot (2 shells one on either side of the fwy)

Last time I did this (Aug I think) I put $42 in the tank on my return fill up, which means I had only used that much since leaving that spot on the earlier journey.

NOTE: No filling up in between these two occasions.

I don't know how big the tank is - but that is sort of irrelavent I suppose. I also didn't note the price of LPG at the time of fillin up, only the price I payed.

Not having a clue about fuel efficiency of cars, is this way outside the curve? or just "pretty good"
