And I thought 54.5 at the local Calor place was a rip off!

However still paying 48p at Worcester Calor but gimpy eyebrow is raising that to 50p soon

On a forum full of V6 owners, I can see why this isn't good news!

I've made up my mind to go for the LPG conversion, just have to decide which one.

If I'd done it when I bought the car 15 months ago, I'd be way in front by now. I just didn't anticipate the amount of miles I'd do - or how much the cost of petrol would skyrocket!

[Mr Skrunts]

I read something a few years ago that there was a grant available towards an LPG from the Government, is this true.  If this is the case then is the grant available to anybody?

TIA

All finished now - they don't want to encourage conversion onf ready built cars, they want you to pollute the far east with hybred cars and their very dirty batteries

[Kieran]

What we need is another fuel protest and this time we should make sure the government takes notice. They are making a fortune out of us in taxes and bleating on about climate change looking for an exuse to tax us even more ie £400.00 road tax.

good point martin,when these batteries reach the end of their life they will cause a big problem.

Time to dust off the moped.

The rapidly ever rising cost of fuel and food is going to cause the bubble to burst soon in my view. People on fixed incomes can't easily save money on fuel or food. How long before inflation gets into double figs?

The fuel solution as i have said before is to "give up" the Omega and get a Tata Nano Elite! (That is the one with window winders) PM me if you want your name adding to the waiting list.

PS it won't be too long before LPG is taxed to death as well once people have been suckered into conversion. Remember diesel?

Heating gas is quite cheap and is identical to autogas, could even decant the big 47kg bottles

They are about £36 on a quick search and hold 94l of LPG at 38p a litre

[miggy]

thats the projected price by the end of the year

tinkers............well they now know the feeling of the country with the local election results...good enough for the communist barstewards

[STMO123]

Gordon Brown yesterday called on oil producers to dampen prices.

why doesn't that fat, greedy, one eyed, two faced, unelected ba$t**d stop robbing the public from their hard earned  cash, instead of blaming the petrol companies.....

quick to blame others and slow to own up to the monumental f**k up that this government has created

  

Who's that then?

Speaking theoretically - of course, how would one do that? I can imagine you'd connect the two together, but then surely the pressure would just even out.

Is there an easy way to pump it out?

[Kevin Wood]

Stick "transfer pump" into ebay and do a search.

Invert the propane cylinder so liquid can be pumped out of the valve, then  you're away.

Apparently there can be a lot of crud in the bottom of propane cylinders as they're always used and stored upright, so an inline filter is a good plan too.
