Hello and nice to see another LPG fan here! The numbers you mentioned are already quite impressive, did you correct those numbers for the distance that the car is running on petrol (when engine is cold)? That could make a considerable difference when you do a lot of short trips..
I guess the low rpm of your car is a big benefit for the mpg.
With my car it is difficult to squeeze more than 18,5 km from 1 liter (43,5 MPG). With the recent cold temperatures I am happy to get 16 - 16,5 km/l (37,6 - 39 MPG). On the other hand I do mostly country side driving and almost no Autobahn...

The lifetime average is about 17,5 km/litre. Some pics:

Would definitely like to see some pics from your car when you have the time to place them.

Freundlichen Grüßen aus den Niederlanden
