Petrol, = 83.9p / litre
LPG = 43.9p / litre

Car will do:

On Petrol, 33mpg
On LPG, 28 mpg

On petrol, at 33mpg, 330 miles would cost: £38.17

On LPG, at 28mpg, 330 miles would cost: £23.55

That's a saving, of £14.62 for every 330 miles!

Bargain!

Should save me about £200 a month, maybe I can afford to take the Mrs for dinner now and keep her happy  ::)

Or I could buy some Elite alloys, mini-facelift grille and projector head lights  ;D

In the V6, 330 miles @ 24mpg would cost £52.49

If I can now get 330 miles out of £23.55,

That means I'm saving £28.94 for every 330 miles!!!!

Wow!!!!

I can take the Mrs out AND buy my Omega toys ;D

Where is it 43.9? You should be able to find it cheaper currently.


41p a litre at the local Calor place but they are near another place who are also cheap.

Tidy looking Omega you go there, at an excellent price too! My best record was my first project.

'98 R 2.5 V6 Reflection, bought for £300 with 2 months MOT & Tax  :D

Just keep you eye out and bargains do crop up  :)

A little high definately worth having a look around, hmm not many near you!

How much at Waitrose? Also Gotherington

Naff all around Gloucester, a few in the Forest. A little around Stroud & Cirencester.

Looks like you are forced to 43.9 unless you travel past any cheaper places.

But then I have 2 near, 1 not too far, 1 near work and 1 a bit further away from work with a couple of others opening.

Well spotted i missed that.

It looks like its had some new trim just below the headlight drivers side, can't tell if the light is there as it should be  :-/

The bonnet and bumper all look good, just possibly the replacement plastic trim??
