there are no plans to increase duty..we already pay more duty in % terms than the other road fuels any way.
Succsesive Govs. have encouraged LPG as a road fuel as it is a greener fuel albeit fossil, emmisions have it as a cleaner fuel than derv or petrol.
wholsale LPG price is driven by the leisure industry.. not OPEC
Wish I had your faith Kev (is that where the Rev bit comes from..
)
I still can't see them leaving it alone in their scrabble to increase revenue for the pot; looking back at what governments have "promised" before and then failed to deliver or gone back on .....
one of us will be right .. I guess I hope it's me

No, only had her 2 months and been doing few pieces first - so only over the one big trip we've done. But got another next week and coz I'm such a tight a***, i'll work it out again.
But will keep lpg conversions in mind & keep an eye on the forecourt prices.
Now, can anyone tell me about exhausts and performance/mpg related stats?!

Oops I deleted my post
Your price differential is only 5p less than mine so and that's only £90 less over 8000 miles
I can only say that on petrol I averaged about 18 around town and on LPG it's 16-18mpg
Get saving now before petrol hits £1.50

lpg price is falling locally to me, has come down 3ppl in the last 10 days, (now 58ppl)and thats a BP.
think the other stuff is over a quid twenty ....
i think you will struggle to get better mpg than you are getting , thats good , best i get out of mine is 25mpg ( on lpg, could tell you what it does on the other stuff, havent even switched it over in 9 months, and then it was only for a miles or so) but i cant be doing with driving like a nun, if i was that bothered about the mpg id not be driving one of these anyway, id be driving a plastic eurobox.
some people are too obsessed with numbers....

Runs away for being political
