Abstract: For a fixed $alpha$, each real number $xin(0,1)$ can be represented by many different generalised $alpha$-L"uroth expansions. Each such expansion produces for the number $x$ a sequence of rational approximations $(frac{p}_n{q}_n{)}_{nge1}$. In this paper we study the corresponding approximation coefficients $(het{a}_n(x){)}_{nge1}$, which are given by [ heta_n (x): = q_n left|x-frac{p_n}{q_n} ight|.] We give the cumulative distribution function and the expected average value of the $het{a}_n$ and we identify which generalised $alpha$-L"uroth expansion gives the best approximation properties. We also analyse the structure of the set $mathcal{M}_{a}lpha$ of possible values that the expected average value of $het{a}_n$ can take, thus answering a question from cite{Barrionuevo-Burton-Dajani-Kraaikamp-1994}.
