LPG conversions in sporty cars

[p1tse]

I guess first question is how does LPG work when unleaded you get different grade by RON

So how does standard LPG compare for performance, mpg etc.?

How does LPG conversion work do you switch between LPG or petrol etc?

[p1tse]

On some cars its proven that super unleaded can give more power so I wander how LPG stacks up
Any adverse affects on lifetime wear on engine with LPG

[p1tse]

Not looking to convert but just noticed several cars with LPG

Why does LPG cost half of petrol and do most fuel stations have LPG?
Why don't manufacturers use LPG as standard?

[p1tse]

How about the safety aspect? Say most tanks are in the boot or spare wheel well, what happens to a significant rear end shunt does this increase of flammable chances ?

Also what about the practical side of things, do you install a fuel gauge etc.?

This makes an interesting read.

Tbh I'm looking at b6 s4 audi 4.2 v8 but noticed a handful LPG on the used markets

If you want "sporty", buy a petrol.

If you want "economy" - buy a diesel.

To my mind LPG is in a bit of a no-man's-land these days with diesel continually improving.

What if you want Sporty WITH Economy ?

Or like to listen to a V8 ?

Or enjoy revs ?

Or don't want the risk of diesel injectors, pumps, turbos, DPFs ?

LPG has been a great option for many years.

Currently my wife runs a 165bhp 2.3 Mazda6 - giving the equivalent of 50mpg - she used to run an A6 1.9 TDi 130bhp giving 43mpg

I run a 225bhp 4.6 F150 giving the equivalent of 30mpg - I used to run an Isuzu 150bhp diesel that gave 25mpg.

So both have more power and more economy and sound / drive better.

How are you working out equivalent mpg?
Mpg is miles per gallon?

Unless you mean £x.xx/mile is less
