When your LPG was 42p a litre, petrol was between 85-90p, making your saving approx 43p a litre. Today, even if we use the worst case scenario of LPG being 80p, petrol is around £1.35 so your savung is 55p. Please do not make the error of mistaking a higher LPG price for a lower representative saving as it just isnt true. I hope you will still consider LPG for your next vehicle? David,

I can't see any benefit in owning an LPG car anymore and it seems the UK Government are trying to turn the screw on absolutely everyone, even though our cars aren't polluting like petrol and diesel ones do. This was the original excuse for petrol and diesel tax hikes, but the recent spike in LPG prices only confirms that we are being ripped off and lied to once again.

There was not enough lubrication / cooling going on in my cylinder head and it caused cylinders to blow :( Worth bearing in mind. Doubt my car car will get converted.

I have LPG on two family cars, at first, almost 7 years, and it s really good investment. There are almost 20% gasoline driven cars in south-east europe converted to LPG!!! I didnt heard any case of dangerous situations. People did crush test with gasoline and LPG cars, and guess what? Gasoline tanks was burned, but LPG reservoir didnt, becouse it was made by heavy steel... So, consider!
