Advantages: Cost, Improves range, Energy reliance, green, improving technology Disadvantages: Small amount of petrol to start
...My LPG conversion was installed a year ago I had being toying with the idea for a while. after hearing my partners uncle had it on a Lexus I took the plunge. 2 grand a small wheel like tank in tool slot at rear of vehicle and it was installed. The LPG can be switched between petrol and LPG and the fact you can have a tank of petrol and a tank of Gas gives your car a longer range. The LPG tank is full for £20 as oppose to £30 for half a tank of petrol - such a big difference but the car needs a small amount of petrol to start so I keep a quarter of a tank of petrol in usually just for that purpose. If you get the LPG system installed correctly the car doesnt suffer much loss in power. I was made aware of rally cars with 200hp engines running on gas and I also drove a converted vauxhall calibre that really flew, overtaking was easy...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Cost if done right Disadvantages: Cost if done wrong
...I have been running on LPG for a little over five years now, and covered a shade under 220,000 miles in two cars.
The first car was a Honda Accord 2.2 Coupe that had 65,000 miles on the clock when I had it converted to gas. Used was a cheap and basic OMVL kit. This basically converted an injection engine, into a carburettor engine by inserting little more than an open pipe into the inlet manifold, allowing the engine to suck the gas into the cylinders for combustion. Luckily the engine was powerful enough to start with to compensate for the resulting drop in power. There was a cylinder in the boot behind the back seats which made the boot one foot shorter, but I still retained the full sized spare wheel. The engine was from the ultimately reliable Honda stable so; all the problems that I could/should of have had with such a cheap...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Cheaper fuel costs/extended service intervals Disadvantages: Finding petrol stations that sell LPG
...At the time I was driving an Alfa romeo 145 Cloverleaf,Any one that knows of these vehicles are aware that they can be a little heavy on petrol with the 2.0 16v engine.A friend of mine suggested I look into an LPG conversion,I read a few reviews as I was not sure how a second hand car with 50.000 miles on would react,Decided that the car was worth investing in the price of the conversion.
My first dilema was what sort of tank to use,ie a doughnut tank in the spare wheel well or a free standing tank in the boot area,I wanted a fairly decent range on mileage so opted for a tank in the boot as the wheel well was to small to fit the size of tank I required.
The conversion was carried out by a local mechanic & other than a few teething problems with the initial set up I knew I had made the right choice.The car ran fine on the conversion...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Cheap motoring, Cheaper VED (Road Tax) Disadvantages: Time to convert it, lose a bit of luggage space
...considerably sturdier than a petrol tank and there are safety cut off valves that click in when the ignition is off. I'm no expert on this but I have used the kit for two months on two cars and it's been fine.
On the road. You start the engine on petrol and once it warms up it switches to gas. That's it. No input from you. There is a small postage stamp sized box on the dash that has LED's on it. One green and one red you're on petrol. Flashing red - it's switching to LPG . Two green - you're on LPG. There are four smaller green LED's that tell you how much gas you have in the tank. In the centre there's white button that you can manually switch to Petrol if you want and back. But it's not necessary to have any input at all- it's all automatic. Switch over is set to engine temperature and Rev's I believe.
Cost. My wife's Xtrail was...
Advantages: Cheap fuel, reliable, good for the enviroment Disadvantages: Takes up some space, only 1200 filling stations
...How would you like to pay 1995 prices again for your fuel? That is between 56p - 61p a litre! Too good to true? A gimmick? Not so, it's even encouraged by the Government.
There is no catch, if you want to pay these prices, consider having your car converted to run on LPG.
What is LPG?
LPG is short for Liquid Petroleum Gas, commonly known as Auto Gas, most petrol driven cars or vans (not diesels) can be converted to run on LPG which almost cuts your fuel costs in half.
Currently, there are around 140.000 cars running around the UK able to run on LPG & 11 million worldwide. With around 1200 filling stations with LPG facilities in the UK you are never far away from being able to fill up.
LPG is a by product of the extraction & refining of crude oil giving no burn off & it is very environmentally friendly. LPG vehicles emit less Co2...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap... Disadvantages: Availability in some areas
...I have a 1999 Hyundai Coupe 2.0 SE which I had converted to LPG around two years ago. The coupe was not particularly thirsty petrol wise, however as I did around 20,000 miles a year I decided that converting to LPG would save me a considerable sum of money.
The LPG tank is a 65 litre 'doughnut' shaped tank which fits snugly into the spare wheel housing underneath the boot carpet, and therefore does not take up any boot space. I don't carry a spare wheel anymore, instead I carry a can of Tyre Weld. Tyre Weld is a aerosol that in the event of a puncture, you screw it onto your tyre valve, invert the can, and spray it. It seals and inflates your tyre without the need for jacks or compressors, and takes seconds. Anyway, back to LPG...
I often get asked whether LPG improves my car's fuel economy. The answer is no. In fact, car...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Low cost Disadvantages: Many in the long run
...Although I never had a converted (or already installed) LPG system vehicle, I had done a very thorough research on users for a decision if I should convert as well or not.
In Turkiye (most of you call it Turkey) almost all the taxi cabs and most of the municipal busses are equipped with LPG. As you would see an Austin in the UK or Chevrolet Caprice or Checker Marathon (not anymore though) in NYC, taxi cabs here in Turkey are virtually all Tofas (Turkish made under Fiat licence, same but with a facelift body style with a Regatta)
I consulted with many of the taxi drivers (I have a cab station only a walk away to my home) for a conversion of my Renault Megane 1.6 liter 16V. for economy, as it was my daily driver, which I drive like 150 kms each and every day.
The savings it helps is impressive but :

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Save LOADS of money. Clean fuel. Grant assisted. Disadvantages: See opinion
...~ ~ With the unbelievably high cost of both petrol and diesel in Britain today, it is surprising that more people are not opting for the option of converting their cars to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas.
This has been a popular alternative here in the Republic of Ireland for many years, and I personally have had four vehicles of mine converted in this way.
~ ~ There are major advantages to running your car on LPG.
The first is fairly obvious, as it is only about £1.80 a gallon, compared to the cost of petrol at around the £3 per gallon mark. (Did I get that price right? Remember I don’t live in the UK anymore.)
So if you convert to LPG your yearly running costs will be reduced considerably.
I remember reading an article in one of the newspapers here that pointed out that it only takes the average motorist covering around 12...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Low cost fuel, cleaner engine,cheaper tax Disadvantages: None so far
...) I have worked out I am getting about the equivelent of 36-40MPG because of the price of petrol (104p a litre).
Filling up takes a bit of getting used to - totally different system - but once you have used it a couple of times its easy
I havent noticed any loss of power and although I was advised you lose about 10% off your top end MPH figure - I never drive at 125 MPH anyway!!
Just taxed my car and it cost £195 for the year - a saving of £25 on the cost of a mondeo's tax (now £220) and £105 on the cost of a 4x4 (now £300) - so another saving!
Overall I would recommend getting the conversion - petrol isnt going to get that much cheaper if at all and whilst they may want to put up the tax on LPG - the fact it is classed as a green fuel might keep them from doing it.
One thing - the person who fitted my system has been doing it...

Review of LPG Conversions
Advantages: Grant Given,Cheap fuel,Quick conversion Disadvantages: None that I have found
...If any people are fed up with petrol prices I suggest having your car converted to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)for short.If the car is less than 1 year old you may possibly qualify for a grant from the POWERSHIFT scheme which is a government scheme which pays a percentage of the cost of conversion.This ranges from 50%--75% of the cost pre VAT.I had my car converted and I now have the best of both worlds,being able to run a car on both gas and petrol.As gas is only about £1.80 a gallon it makes sense to convert.Although the MPG and Performance are slightly down on petrol the cost of fuel far outweighs this minor drawback.I personally had a SKODA OCTAVIA GLXi converted.It took only three days in the garage and the job was superb.The only external difference on the car is a filler cap on the rear bumper about "2 wide.If anybody is...
