Do the two ever work well together?

I'm sure im not the only one wondering this with todays high fuel prices.

I dont want to admit defeat and get something boring.

Ive been wondering about getting a car thats already been converted (so someone else has taken on the big cost of the conversion.)

Apart from the extra cost of getting the lpg system serviced every once in a while (which would be easily ofset by the savings made in fuel bills), and loosing a little space in the boot or spare wheel well, are there any downsides? Does lpg cause are more wear and tear on the engine?

I've seen some great lpg barge bargins around- Audi S8's and the like.

There also seem to be a few Skoda octavia VRS's around with lpg- but the thought of a turbo'd car with lpg concerns me- or is that nothing to worry about?

What does everybody think about performance cars and lpg?
