More or less, there are no additives in LPG AFAIK (apart from the 'perfume' that gives it its smell), whereas petrol has many additives, and the 'premium' brands have much better additive packages than the supermarket / cheapo brands.

No offence meant - just find it hard to understand how LPG here in rural Wales is 70p/Litre, yet in Scotland I was paying 90p for the same thing. 2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!) |

None taken, hope you enjoyed your visit. BP station next to Clydeside expressway 68.9p, but agree elsewhere can be pricey |

For the record, my 02 BMW engined v8, with a prinz system that was pro fitted at 60k, by previous owner...is now on 165k, and running perfect. -I don't get any error codes, relative to engine running etc. I regularly use shell LPG as its nearest. But I use any station brand, when convenient.

Still running as normal without any problems. Apart from a price rise in LPG at one of the local garages, now up to 59p a litre. |

Had Prinz in a 2002 BMW engined 4.4 and now BRG in my 07 jag engined 4.4. both did great, 82K miles in the 2002 and now 83K in my 07. The latest with valve lube. The system is Serviced every year or 10K miles. Love it and it goes well with my concious, driving a clean V8. When it is very hot (as at the moment and on high altitude I do switch to petrol. A habbit I took in when I drove LPG in the 80ies in Holland, when I did 100K a year. Then they told us that driving petrol when it's hot would grease the valves. Obviously with the valve lube it doesn't seem logical to do it nowadays, but I have the illusion that my car sound smoother in the mountains on petrol. Both cars were converted to LPG after approx 6000 mls from new. Had 1 RR sport and 4 FF now and the LPG cars did not cost me more or gave me more issues. |
