LPG price coming down?
That's because there are so few stations in Sussex. I'm 11 miles from the one at the end of the A23. The nearest to home is 9 miles to the west and 17 miles to the north. I'm based in Worthing. There used to be one in Shoreham and one in Lewes- both gone now.

Selling from a home installation
I would LOVE to be able to do this too. <BR> <BR>Where I am, the nearest station to the West is 9 miles, 13 miles to the East and 17 to the North. There is no South- less than 1/2 mile and you'd be in the sea. <BR> <BR>I have looked at doing this at home as well, but it came to a grinding halt as ...

MoT and testing on LPG
Well it got through the test on LPG (I knew it would i had it checked not long ago and the numbers were spot on). <BR> <BR>The test centre did ring VOSA who where less than definative. They just raised more questions than they answered- and basically said- If it's passed on the numbers who cares how ...

Cougar V6 problems
I also had problem 1 until i learned the trick round it. The normal filler has two little pins that stick out sides horizontally. On mine the pins are vertical, so i put the trigger types nozzles on so the handle is sticking out backwards rather than downwards. Once I learnt that it was plain sailing.

Fuel costs per mile
Damian, <BR> <BR>Yours always did seem a bit high to me. <BR> <BR>I get 74l for about £32, at the end of the A23 in Brighton (used to be the Q8). That will get me between 176-210 miles. <BR> <BR>So somewhere between 15.2p to 18.2p per mile or 12.9 to 10.8 mpg. <BR> <BR>This is for a BRC mixer system ...

Single Point ?
As I understand it- <BR> <BR>Single Point- is a mixer this is quite distant from the trumpets and will therefore fill the plenum with a combustable mix of air and gas. If the ignition system is not up to snuff it can cause backfiring in the airbox leading to damage. In this setup the vaporiser works ...

Petrol versus lpg prices
i was in Hastings today and ran out of gas before reaching the Q8/BP station. Where is it please? Since Feb, when i got this car, i have never paid less than 42.9 so i'd be interested in knowing where the cheap one was.
