Nige, do you have any idea how much you have saved yourself converting to gas?

[PhilRich]

Yes nige' could you let us know how much your LPG system cost? did you fit it yourself or was it already in the car when you bought it?

On fuel running costs the estimated saving to date is £1619.13p

As I paid for a professional install (£2173) rather than DIY I still have an estimated 6920 miles to do before the conversion has "paid for itself" as some folks look at it, however I factored the conversion cost into the purchase price and  prefer to look at it as saving me £100 ish a month  !!

And since I retired my mileage has dropped considerably, I'm now only doing around 800 miles a month, it used to be nearer 1200.

Must learn to type faster LOL, thanks for that nige' it has given me serious food for thought mate

if fitted diy, can be done for 7 to £800 last i heard, depending on the tank you want. Smaller donut tanks(teroidal), being more expensive than the bigger capacity cylinders along the back seats.

Hth

[Lazydocker]

I reckon I've now saved myself over £1000, after paying back the kit costs

Why thank you

It's easy when you know a little, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't confident with a spanner

Well, petrol has topped 110p/Litre here now... and I'm still buying LPG for 53.9.

I normally pay 55.9, but if I made the effort to do the 20 mile (or so) round trip to Ipswich I'd pay 51.9, perhaps 53.9.

I just can't be bothered to waste over an hour of my day

And waiste more than the saving getting there and back i guess?

Yep, all comes into it. Price aside, if your nearest lpg station is 15 miles in the wrong direction 30miles each fill up is waisted.

Lpg needs to be a bit more widespread imho, and finding it needs to be alot easier, cornwall was a joke tbh. Found one in the end but most of the map icons down there where out of date, really need to ring ahead and check the outlet exists first off, when they are open, and if they still stock it, and that they havent sold out.
 Each of the 4 or 5 outlets near me have run out when i've called at some stage, but at least i could pop over to the next nearest. We are lucky in Reading in that respect.


Having said that JamesHoleinblock mentioned his Asda has lpg. How come the one at the end of my road doesnt stock it? :-( .....and can i have the moon on a stick please while i'm at it. Ta

So me paying 46p a litre is a really happy bunny too!!

Bought mine already converted and paid the same as a conventional petrol model was worth!
