[tuscan_boy]

Never heard of it before, you'd be wanting a multi-point system for sure.

You might struggle to find a tank that fits in the boot too, you'd certainly loose most of your storage space.

Not to mention a horrid ugly lpg filler cap spoiling the lines of the car.

Hate to say it but I think its a pointless exercise, you need to be doing pretty high mileage to ever justify the cost of an LPG system, even more-so with falling uneladed prices.

Somewhere in the region of 15-20k miles to payoff a £2000 LPG system.

I'd have thoght servicing costs would be a greater concern if you're doing mileage like that in a tusc'

You can hide LPG filler caps - under numberplates sometimes done - might need some imagination with Tuscan.

I have an LPG V6 Alfa - goes well (considering its 196k!)

I reckon for a Tuscan you would need a very custom build (tank in boot, problems with mounting filler) but I see no reason why would not work.

I don't really understand why more performance cars are not LPG'd...although there is always the consideration that they might boost the price on LPG.

You loose about 10% power with LPG - no probs on the motorway though.

Its also very kind (ie clean) to the engine - see 196k Alfa for details!
