I am in nearly ready to put my 6 back on the road after head and bottom work. All my own doing, not a dealer in sight (who needs them robbing pug bandits).I do about 18000 miles a year and this is expensive, so I am thinking about moving to the dual fuel life style Is anyone out there running this at the moment or know of any 6 on the gas? I have searched the forums and cant find anything. |

not heard of it on a 6', but have on other cars. Costs a hell of alot and in fairness i have been told it would have been better to get a run-around car instead.________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

Surely it will be several years before you would see any real saving? |

I wouldn't bother, a lot of money for little gain and you are relying on the gas prices staying low which I'm sure they won't!________________________________________ Previous Peugeot - 2000(w)GTI-6, Me old China, Supercharged with working aircon! |

don't do it, unless you go into Central London the savings aren't worthwhile. We run LPG vans and they are a pain in the arse eat their way through valve seats and stem seals to mention a few things. plus with a 6 its not likely to be a car you'll keep for 100K to make the most of the benefits. |
