• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - LPG and petrol MOT testing emissions. 31 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  How do VOSA/MOT testing stations test a dual fuelled car? Is the emission testing done on both fuel types or just one? Does LPG or Petrol give a lower emissions reading? Is it best to take your car in after a good run out & 'hot' or just take it in stone cold?

  Hi all, just a quick question, does anyone have any information about the government's plans for taxation on LPG fuel next year?
