I have my second Volvo 240 Polar now and both were driving on LPG. Even when one cylinder failed my first car had a better performance then the one I have now. Also we experience several backfires. The performance is disappointing also when driving on regular gas. On a flat road I manage to reach 140 km/hr (my first Volvo made 160 easily) if I take my time, and uphill it all slows down to 90. The engine has been recently revised (the cylinderhead anyway), but that has meant no improvement.

Also the LPG consumption of my current car is much higher then my first. Recently the computer of my LPG-system was reset and that has improved performance somwehat but not enough and not LPG consumption and of course not the performance on regular gas. Any ideas?
