I did until 2013 (when the fuel was nearly £1.50/litre) now considering it again. Just wondered if I was in the minority?

My T-bird does about 26mpg on a 50 mile/day commute mainly on the motorway, which considering its a 4.6 I don't think is too bad.

Do you have a cut-off, either on fuel prices (when it goes over a certain figure), or commute distance?

Very nice. What kind of mpg do you get in that one?

Lpg always seemed like the ideal solution to me. I wish I'd had my T-bird converted when i got it 11yrs ago. Would've paid for itself and worked out much cheaper. Never thought I'd have it this long though.

My wife and I split our commuting among the 3 cars we share. We have two Jeep Renegades and a Camaro SS. Last month we drove 3,000 miles of which 997 were in the Camaro. 6.2 litres of V8 still manages up to 30 mpg cruising on the motorway (but not when it is me driving). Our average with the car is 26.5mpg. What is not to like?
Pretty much the same as my T-bird.
