lpg better than fuel?

[tg1]

any ideas anyone?

[jake]

the conversion is not cheap! But obviously you will save money in the long run as LPG is very very cheap! And another advantage is that you dont actually lose much performance, if anything minor

10-20% less economy and 0.53ppl

With the cost of conversion you will have to do alot of miles to break even.

[Stronz]

Do the government still do a scheme where you can apply for a conversion grant to help with the cost?

Think its ok on a big gaz guzzling v8 but on a small reasonably economical family car? Remember you have to put the gas tank somewhere.

[jake]

yeah the gas tank normally replaces the fuel tank!

[tg1]

not for me my old man has his heart stuck on some old lexus barge he couldn't park but when he realised a 4l v8 isn't ideal for tootling round town he was asking me about lpg

Not really.  LPG cars usually have a switch so you can toggle between which fuel you want to use.  They usually use the spare wheel well for the LPG tank & give you a tyre foam kit, lol!

Yeah very rarely does the lpg tank replace the petrol tank.

My dad has had a couple of w124 mercs on gas, and its brilliant.

They certainly did used to, but I've got a feeling it was scrapped a few years ago.
