fuel economy

[BobR]

Hi All,
In the few months i've owned my T4 I have used both premium and standard unleaded in the van with no discernable difference in economy or performance. My Serviceman suggested every 2nd or 3rd fill be premium, so that is what I do. Still averaging 11.5 l/100klm (2.5 manual) mainly city driving. Would be interesting what other owners fill up with and why or why not.
Regards
BobR

Someone mentioned LPG. Ive converted my holden rodeo diesel to a diesel/LPG mix, very much improved performance and slightly better economy as well. Who's done this on their VW diesel?

It's something I was interested in doing, until I found out that the govt rebate for lpg only applied to private vehicles.

BobR,

To clarify, min 95 octane for the 2.5 petrol or 98 octane if you want the higher premium. Standard unleaded 91 octane is not specified.
