LPG any experiences ? - barney100
I would like to know more about lpg as it seems on the face of it a good idea. Anyone know about it? Volvos seem to do a production model or two.

If you have a good conversion or a factory-fitted or approved one, it's fine. Diesel running costs with the pleasure of a petrol engine. More to go wrong I suppose, but it's pretty reliable kit, if properly installed and maintained. You soon get used to which garages stock it and I never ran out when I ran one. You still have either the original petrol tank or a smaller one that gives you a good range. No loss of interior or boot space with a decent conversion either, but some saloons will lose the spare tyre so you'd have to carry a tin of gunk to get you home. I think they make a lot of sense in the current market.
But if too many people use it, watch the tax go up.
