Should I buy a pre LPG converted car instead of a tdi golf?
Discussion
Right the 172 is going to make way for a mile muncher – missis does approx 20k a year and my mileage is likely to rocket as well.
I have about £5k and was looking at 320td, fabia vrs and golf 150 tdi’s
Just read a thread about LPG and thought maybe I should consider this.
I once bough a 185k 156 v6 alfa with a rubbishly done ‘self installed’ LPG kit….to say it didn’t really work out was an understatement – car needed huge amounts of TLC, the lpg used to switch off over 70mph and alfas drink fuel!
Am I wrong to let this experience put me off lpg – can they work? I am looking for a hassle free car experience with lots of mpg (or decent mpg equivalent).
I have good access to LPG around me and am ‘competent’ with filling etc.
I have had a quick look around and E46 328 or 330’s pre converted are in my price range – if they genuinely got the equivalent of 45mpg, hassle free, I would be a happy man with one of those.
Is it too good to be true? Do they ever work ‘like petrol’?

I have spotted a BMW 330i with lpg - reckons to get equiverlent of 52mpg.
It does have 150k on the clock but these engines are supposed to be strong.
Good idea?
Sounds good to me - as long as it works!
You say you cannot praise it enough - it works flawlessly? Does not switch over to petrol on the m'way?
Is 85% of petrol mpg about right to work off for LPG?
