  • LPG, roadtax, and pre March 01 17 Dec 2002 (Forum)

    Economically it seems to make sense to have a conversion to lpg given the mileage I do. From an emissions POV it also makes sense and my tax bill will reduce. Trouble is, I cannot find any decent advice as to whether reliability will be adversely affected. Subaru did not offer a conversion
