I read a lot on forums about the savings on lpg reducing as it used to be less than half the price of petrol. It doesn't make much sense to me. If you're saving 40/50p per litre against diesel after taking into account the other losses then that's still the same 40/50p that you would have saved when petrol/diesel was 80 odd pence and lpg was 30 or 40 odd pence. Surely it's still worthwhile ? I bought mine already converted but would just as happily have bought one and converted it. |

You can buy a lot of petrol for the cost of a conversion...and thats a very honest and open opinion from a trader...who has probably just won himself some business by being that honest Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........ |

You can buy a lot of petrol for the price of a conversion, that's why it's not for everyone. You do have to keep the car for a while and do reasonable mileage to make it pay. |

I'm gona convert a 4.2 supercharged to lpg not because I can't afford to run it on unleaded but because I pay an accountant to keep my hard earned cash away from the a les who tax me. Why on earth would I then pay for overpriced go go juice.

I have a '54 plate with a BMW engine, and had it converted almost 3 years ago. Before having the conversion done, the "converter" let me have a test drive of a Supercharged (on which he'd done the gas install). The Supercharged belonged to a chap who runs a business selling gas conversion parts (we had his permission, of course) |
