Hi If your the sort of person who might fit central heating yourself or have a go at plumbing Lpg conversion is not that hard. When we bought are van she had a newish engine that probley helps with the mpg plus i drive like im on holliday all the time (this does upset other road users at times) Even if you get it done by a pro you will get your money back. Plus ive never driven a diesel.

likewise, i fitted the kist myself. took a bit of headscratching at times and then got it commissioned by a lpg conversions place here in derby - her charged £50 which included a safety inspection with certificate - this is what your insurance company need.

Commuting up hill and down dale 180 miles on 50 litres, long distance motorway runs 205 on 50. That's honest.
