Is it better to convert an older car to LPG or buy a new hybrid?
I'm wonder if is a better choice to spend less money for a good used car no more than 8-10 years old and pay a good LPG kit or spent more money for a new hybrid car,will LPG save more money?

The biggest issue with LPG will be finding refilling stations. You could spend a lot of money on a conversion and find that there's nowhere local to you to top up. Even if there is, with a declining number of LPG cars on the road, it's unlikely that you'll have a local LPG filling station for long. A lot of people are wary of LPG, too, so you might find it difficult to sell a car with an LPG kit in the future. A modern hybrid car would be a better option. The Toyota Yaris Cross is an excellent choice and also has the advantage of a warranty for up to 10 years.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
