It was a while ago, before I turboed my old shorty it was Gasresearch straight LPG. I used to get about 4 to 4.5 klms/l. This was common feedback too as I tuned dozens in the 10 years I was the dyno operater at Gasresearch. The occasional person would get up to 5.5 but it was more the driver. Good exhaust and igniton helps, the economy isn't much better than a well tuned impco but you'll get 10-15% more power for the same fuel usage.

Cheers

auto/manual?
how much lift?
lift plays a big part in consumtion aswell,

you shoudl get at least 300 to a tank, in an auto.

I had 37's with 4.8 diffs.

I had a 140lt gas tank with 110 odd usable i think.

Used to get around 400-450km per tank depending on conditions

Work on 2.5-3klm/l off road, could be worse if giving it a hard time though.
