LPG users - real world mpg or miles per £?

[Chewitt]

considering LPG

i know the ready reckoning of 85% of petrol MPG and that I can't actually get lpg for 40 p a litre (not round here anyway!!)

but can you say model/engine/body type specific what mpg you get?


and if you know how much the conversion cost....


looking at a nice waft mobile type ideally

waits for usual "anything bar petrol is Satan's work" responses.........

I've often wondered about LPG- it seems to offer a lot of benefits yet i've never seen a car from a manufacturer with it fitted as standard.. why? I mean they could presumably do a much better job of installing it and getting it running correctly, leaving the car buyer with a decent car with reliable LPG. Also the cost of fitting the kit would be rolled up into buying the car.

volvo did and the odd Vauxhall -prob a few others.....

my biggest concern is the distance between fill ups - if the saving isn't big enough then 2 trips a week to the pilfer-illing station isn't worth the hassle.

S'why I asked!
