However if it also takes this long with an outside temperature of 10 to 15 degrees C, that's to long if you ask me. In my case my 9-3 TiD (125hp) starts better then my 9-3 2.0 used to. > bit noisy at first, Compared to my previous LPG car it is much noisier at low speeds.

Remember that your right foot is a very important factor in your fuel consumption. If you use the available torque on a regular basis and do not drive long distances at constant speeds in the 120 km/h region, this figure wouldn't surprise me. > However, when I try to test the topspeed, I have not been able to > drive faster than 170!

Does the engine respond and sound properly at high revs in a low gear? If it does the problem is in the drivetrain somewhere. Haven't tried mine yet either, at least I didn't go past 160 km/h. I think I have a misalignment in the front, causing the car to react to every imperfection in the roadsurface and gust of wind. > Anyone got any thoughts on this? Below 150 (which I drive 99,9% of the > time) I don't have a problem with the performance of the car. The fact that you go up there every day doesn't mean it shouldn't be able to do so. Mark
