Predominantly 72/73p here on BP, Shell and Morisons, although a quick trip to Eastenders land on the way in to London gets it for 67.9 at Sainsburys.

if your running "gas guzzlers" like me then lpg still makes sense. :y
Unless you are happy either driving a diesel or driving carefully it still makes sense to me too ;) My 3.2 couldn't get more than 300 miles to a tank of petrol, even if I was being reasonably good ::) What's a full tank of petrol nowadays? £95+

I can get 230 miles from a £50 tank of LPG no matter how I drive, a little more on a run :y

Still a saving in my book ;) ;) Mind you, my conversion has paid for itself already so not too worried now ::)

Of course, the fact that my car hasn't done more than 400 miles in the last 4 months is also a big money saver ::) :D

I miss my 4 pot LPG, 370 miles easy from £50!

Different driving styles ;)

That said, your 2.2 is so bad on LPG, that any attempt to drive normally, and it flicks back to petrol :o
