LPG Discussion Forum

Reading this forum some equipment works better than others if its a mixer system thats understandable but if its on sequential then your mpg should be better and no loss of performance should be noticable.Remember the differential is now far greater than last year .You
should be saving 50ppl come on smile please.Or is that not the case at the moment.As i siad i drive an old volvo 740 with a 2.3 engine (each to thier own) its on a very old system but some cars work some dont.But all work on the new systems i think(or should if done properly)_

It's sequential but as I only found out when it was too late, the LR 4.0 lt in the last of the disco 11's had so much exhaust emissions @!## attached to them that they are some of the lowest mpg V8's ever fitted in a LR product.

Morrisons in my area have put price up from 42.9...to 47.9.....to 54.9 in 3 months.

However... I'm still getting mine for 42.9 from an indepedant garage... yeeehaar !!!!!

Not telling where it is though....

59.9p at BP, Barnstaple, N. Devon!!!

I stand by my prediction that we will be paying an average of 70p lt come april next year. I hope I'm wrong but I have seen little evidence to convince me otherwise.

Evan at 70ppl if the petrol price stays at currnent price you will be saving
35ppl (the same as 5yrs ago). How- ever if the gas price goes up so will petrol/dirty diesel.

Dave 70p in april to just a few pence cheaper within two years.Please giveme next saturdays lottery numbers .

You will need to win the lottery to buy LPG very shortly. Who is paying the highest price in the UK ?. Total on the A64 has reached 53.9

At the same station what price is petrol?diesel ?

Their petrol was £1.01.9

Not even close! 59.9p at my local BP.

LPG will never be available at under 50p per lt once we get in to 2008.

Morison's Rhyl North Wales now 52.9..up 13p a litre or 59p a gallon increase since June

just hope this system pays for its self ...before i abandon LPG

advice to people thinking of converting .

IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD.

DON'T.DON'T, DON'T !!!

all the best..mark

I have been telling people who have asked me about LPG conversion to give up on it unless they are converting a really fugal petrol engine in the first place. I do think that petrol will stay around the £1.05 mark until around the end of March next year but by then, LPG will be around the 70 p lt range.

My V8 Disco 11 with its max 12.5 mpg on LPG is now a complete waste of time .A gallon of pet at £1.00 lt will buy me equivalent of 2 galls of LPG. Two galls of LPG at 25mpg or one gall of pet doing around 23mpg.. Get your calculator out and tell me how long it will take me to re coupe the £2,200 conversion costs.

It just goes to show people who have bad experiances shout much louder
than people who have good ones.Lpg is cheaper than petrol or diesel nearly half price motoring or at the very worst only a third saving (this is fact)not a guess.It depends on your mileage and vehicle to say how long before you have recouped all your money.
Also lpg will always be cheaper than petrol or diesel the goverment have given a maximum duty rise in relation to petrol or dirtydiesel of 1.5p year
more than the formentioned on a rolling three year programme.
As i said earlier the goverment have to be seen to be green and lpg is by far the lesser of the evils (including biodiesel) as i said get googling and look for studies on lpg.It will reasure you.Include results on nox pm10
and co emmissions.

Also how much has the petrol and diesel gone up since june?Maybe that thought can help you keep things in context.

at the same station in June it was 98.9 pence per litre for petrol

today it is £1.02.9

so petrol has gone up 4 pence LPG has gone up 13 pence .

so petrol roughly 4 percent rise
LPG ...30 percent rise


if you can come up with better figures to make us all feel reassured ...then do so.

all the best.mark

DAVEK....Wrong!!!!!

Re over 50p a litre every where in 2008

I have been paying 42.9 for the past 5 months at an independant retailer.

They have just refilled thier tank and are now charging 48.9 and will be doing so for the next 4 months for sure!!!!!!!!!

The local Morrisons is 54.9 so they've lost my custom for the last 5 months

Get yer facts right!!! Besides anyone who cant be bothered to look around and fills up at a BP garage deserves to be ripped off!!!!

And Norwich Fan OTBC mate NMTD (Yes Me Too )

If that garage was charging 98.9ppl for petrol in june you were being ripped off .I am pretty sure petrol didnt have anything like that kind of average price in june.

Oor local BR was 49.9 yesterday. Today it is 54.9p. Glad I'm back on diesel as at that price I am sure that the price per mile of my V8 would equal or be more than petrol.
