• LPG ? 11 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Still looking for a newer car , and came across a Volvo S60 bi-fuel (LPG) . Its a 2002 model and to be honest it is very nice . But my big worry is (please excuse me) because its a 2.4 5 cylinder no turbo , will it still cost as much to run , as say a diesel Vectra ? The car will be doing a lot
• Diesel and LPG 23 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  I've seen an advert for a Diesel LPG conversion which claims huge benefits in performance AND economy. Has anyone had any experience of this type of conversion, and can it really do what it says on the tin? If the claims of 60% improvement in horsepower are believed, how long would an engine last
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 2003 1.6 - Engine lubrication when running on LPG 19 Dec 2007 (Forum)

  Three garages two within a mile of each other and a 4 p a litre difference.   Last night I filled up at one for 76.p a litre. But whilst there I spoke to another 'gas guy' and he said that he had passed Sainsbury's at Beckton where LPG was 69.9 that very day.  He

  I'm shortly looking at a 2001 Forester Turbo auto with a genuine 35k which has a professionally fitted Prins multi-point lpg system fitted. Now I'm not interested in the pros and cons of lpg in general, I've made my own mind up on that, but I've not had or known anyone with a turbo engine that's

• LPG Conversions 7 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Dear All, Has anyone had any "bad experiences" after having an LPG conversion. I'm thinking of having my car "done" (Ford Escort). I've heard of the valve seat recession problem with Zetec engines, but, what about poorer running, over-heating etc. etc. Any views, opinions graetly appreciated
• LPG vs Diesel 18 May 2007 (Forum)
  As I drive a diesel car, last night I was chatting with my brother in law who's got a Daewoo Lanos 1.6 with LPG fitted. He was telling me on full tank £20 he achieves around 400 miles. I was really surprised to find that out because there's no way any diesel car would even do 300 miles

• Merc S W140 + LPG 26 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Direct imports from Germany are tempting, the only problem is fuel consumption. I think that all W140 use straight-six engines ? How do they cope with LPG conversion ? We're talking smaller ones, like 280 or 300 (I guess 300 is actually 3.2) ? - - - - - - - I am the only Pole over here.

• Cheap LPG? 16 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  I, like many of the rest of you, am not particularly impressed with the extortionate petrol prices in this country. Never a huge problem whilst I lived in London, I have now emigrated to the North West and have to use my car every day for work and clock up about 20k pa. Now, LPG is a great
