Just wait till enough people like you are running on gas! Do you really think the tax on it will stay the same? Look at the increase in the past few years alone. Remember when the government was telling us all to get diesel cars? Back when diesel was p*ss cheap and now look at it.If it sounds to good to be true...... ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

Don't f*cking talk to me about fuel...........Before you know it you'll be paying £1.50 for the f*cking stuff, it boils my f*cking blood the amount of money our government makes on it! The price is just f*cking nuts! Petrol used to be the same price as LPG...........really p*sses me off. That's my twopence, i'm sure when i worked actually dispensing the stuff a few years ago it was 49.9p ! ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Just got a pack of Smarties and there were no blues inApologies i'm the most mild mannered chap but i absolutely despise the fuel issues we have. Wouldn't be so bad if we still exported as much as we used to do, making us a richer country. ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

That's a lot of money to spend on a 6 no matter how much it saves you . To mirror an earlier post i would rather it put the money aside for an sc conversion. PLUS You can't be a petrol head if your buzzing gas instead. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

Presumably because his car is in the bracket of tax determined by the emission levels, a reduction could be noted and therefore be put in to a reduced band.

welshpug! wrote: why not? Because LPG doesn't give the same power output as running on fuel. Its not bad but its not as good. Why would you go to the expense of converting to an SC setup then run it on gas and not make the most of it. Same with guys running CATs with the system. People have shelled out a lot of money and not getting the best returns for their investments.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Good luck with this mate, just don't think its economically viable for a 306 really. My brother has an LPG conversion in his Alfa 147 2.0. On petrol his is roughly the same as my Rallye around town, about 27-28 MPG. Switch it to gas however and he usually averages around 18-20. And that's driving carefully. Hoot it around a bit and it drops to 15-16. He usually gets about 100-110 miles to £20 which is at 69p a litre. About 25 more miles than he would on petrol. So he is saving a few quid. Performance wise, I really don't notice any difference at all. Still has plenty of torque too (feels more than the Rallye). ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |
