    I just wanted to post... I drove my Corolla to Baguio and back over the weekend. I had both my LPG and gasoline fuel tanks filled. When I got back to Manila, my odometer was reading over 650 kilometers. I did over 400km on LPG (started with 83% tank capacity) and the rest on gasoline (gasoline gauge was reading a touch over half remaining). The LPG tank wasn't dry-empty but the meter was reading zero for over 15 minutes before I switched over to gasoline.

    While in Baguio, I was running on gasoline because the thinner air resulted in one very under powered Corolla which was able to so slowly around but it was inefficient on the fuel used.

    The portion of the trip to baguio was mainly done in rain but I was still able to maintain a speed of between 100 to 125 kph along the expressway. If I maintained a lower speed (like 90kph) all the way, I might have achieved better fuel millage but I was trying to cut the travel time. Manila to Baguio in five hours. Baguio to Manila in four hours.
