I actually bought an LPG Saab 9-3 last week (I'm Dutch as well) and it seems that the 'MPG' value (actually l/100 km) is rather on the positive side. I haven't really studied it but 8l/100 km seems a bit low. I think the computer measures from the last reset so I haven't been able to really compare it. X.
