    GAS or PETROL

    no no not what u were thinking


    for ure car


    whats the best? i.e using gas altho is smells :fart: does it make ure car go any slower then with petrol?

    coz we use gas forklifts at work and altho quite smelly (unless you like the smell of gas of-course) they run pretty darn fast

    My mate had a taxi that ran on LPG/Petrol.

    When running on LPG it is a bit slower and gets worse MPG but the price of lpg still makes it cheaper per mile. If you need to accelerate you can always select petrol then switch back once you've done.

    Can you do that? Is it expensive for the work to change?

    My mate got a gas conversion on his BMW think for about£200, the top speed or acceration is not affected at all (well not in this case)

    Get a diesal and run it off cooking oil, tesco's sell the big barrels of it now!! :)

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: GAS or PETROL

    I was under the impression insurance was cheaper with LPG cars? I see how a conversion would class as a modification though, so is it cheaper with just specialist LPG insurers?

    Or am I totally wrong?

    LPG cars still need petrol so you have a switch to select which fuel you want to use. i think it costs £1500 to £3000 depending on the system you get.
