after 2 months of everyday use I think I have the answer


parking space


fuel cost.. 

[omega3000]

One thing for sure is vauxhall dont make cars as good and solid as the Omega any more , only car thats going to beat it is a Monaro or something from Oz with a big V8

with the current fuel prices (1.40 £/litre here - as the £ has gone up) , a v8 is the worst candidate for a daily drive.. may be only for weekend

Ooooh no. It's the best candidate. ....ESP with LPG.

Chris, installing an LPG from a good brand on a V8 costs nearly a second hand car price here


to compare, with that money you can buy 2 mint condition omega from your most expensive dealer..

Good job we're not there then. Isn't it.

Much more straightforward to install on an lsx Gm v8 than the omega v6, due to plastic inlet and no plenum

Cost is easily recouped in fuel savings in the first 9 months or so at 15k a year. ....Here!

So, here, cost isn't the issue.




Generally though cem, while we know there is an international element to this forum, we can't really taiyor our answers to that of local conditions to any member in another country. Such as Turkey in this instance. Can we?

This is primarily a uk based forum, and while a v8 could well be argued to be uneconomical, your basing your reply on Turhish economics to a uk member.

There ARE options and solutions to these problems. ...and btw, uk fuel
Prices have come down recently. Believe it or not.

Why not ? 

[chrisgixer]

Because we don't live there

Should we add a foot night to each post such as.... Unless you live in Turkey.

Actually that's an easy one hang on.

[chrisgixer]

There. That's sorted.

There. That's sorted.

[omega3000]

Yup , lpg V8 ... but i was considering LS400 as an option if needing to replace the Mig 
Cheap to buy but a very solid car ...

As the best (IMHO) Omega-B internet site in existence, its to be expected that overseas visitors will want to join, and we welcome that

Obviously our UK members, which is the bulk,  may not always know or understand the cost/supply/availability issues that our overseas members have to suffer, but we are a global site catering for all Omega-Bs and their derivatives . And slowly we learn the problems faced in other countries, and they learn ours

[TheBoy]

And especially for cem, I'll start a new thread about LPG

And hence an element of frustration, as "we" clearly aren't learning. There had been no need for winter tyres in the uk for the last 5 years for the VAST majority here, despite claims to the contrary from foreign members that THEIR climate is fully applicable here.
