LPG for Pikeys?
Discussion
LPG has made my car a lot more viable than running on petrol. A daily driver thats sub 20mpg is getting very expensive to run, switching to LPG has saved me about £1500 since I had my car converted last June. Conversion cost me £1600 so I will break even in sub 12 months.
I'm planning on keeping the car for another couple of years so overall, including getting the system serviced, I should save myself around £3000. That might be an insignificant amount to some people but to me thats a fair wedge of cash.

Diesel and LPG are for tight people or poor people. No real PHer is tight or poor. Did you guys not fill out the means-test form before you signed up?
At least with LPG you can push a button and switch to petrol when you want to hoon, then push the button again for commuting.quite right totaly pikey BUT only if you fill it at home using household propane tanks and avoid the road fuel duty 
Also with LPG you can run higher boost than on petrol, or run a higher comp ratio on a N/A engine, as any half knowing petrol head would (or should) know.
Not that i expect anyone on here to know that obv
ok that's a bit unfare there is a very small percentage of posters on here who appear to acutually know what they are on about it's just the large majoraty that talk s
te or regurgetate what the bloke down the pub spewed into thier ear last night

My LPG converted Roush F150
I must be a fekkin pikey to, doesn't the OP realise that real pikeys steal most of their diesel therefore making LPG completely useless to them as it is nearly impossible to steal. Unless you nick gas bottles & use a transfer pump, but that would be too much like hard work for them.

Indeed.
What's there to steal down there then?OP - I felt proper pikey in my 330i on lpg - before you ask it was compliant with PH code of not being externally modified in anyway and certainly didn't have a pikey PH sticker...
This place is becoming like Top Gear with the amount of b
ks being spouted, usually by pikeys with intergalactic mileage diesel 5 series' who come and make a post about how amazing their pikey mobile is and how surprised they were when a 500 bhp Cayenne passed them on a corner....Thankfully not all the posters are pikeys yet and if you search on here for LPG you will see many posts by people who have actually done it or bought a converted car.
well, we had our V6 Avantime converted to LPG last year, cost £1500 including having the flashlube as well. The conversion paid for itself in 10,000 miles, which we did in about 14 months as we can now afford to actually run the car rather then mothball it in the garage like we did for the preceeding 3yrs.
People who think converting to a cheaper fuel like LPG or bio fuel (like we put in our old Cavalier TD and my Astra Convertible) makes you a pikey should get their head out of their bankers bonus ar$es and start living in the real world.
