This engine is knwon to be very fuel efffecient specially with the light weight body of 800, and can peak 24-26 during stable highway stints. It was one thing we wanted to do in 1998 after we saw such conversion in A'bad. We were really attarcted towards it, but noise was unbearable. Decided to continue with petrol and now we have CNG.
30 is a very high figure, but the effeciency was simply mindboggling.
