spooferman   10 #25 Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks for your constructive comments. We have paid out over £1500 to be greedy don't forget and we're cleaner to the environment. Thanks for your input. Any LPG drivers wish to add a comment?  Tree Hugger:rant: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
littlebasher   11 #26 Posted June 27, 2009 Surely that's still better than if you were running it on Petrol???  I get quite a bit less MPG on gas, but when you consider that some garages sell the stuff for 43p/litre who cares Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
lynslou77   10 #27 Posted February 1, 2010 2 years ago when I had a LPG combo van I paid 31.4p a litre from the garage at meadowhall near TFI Fridays or whatever it's called. You can park for free with the council and you don't pay congestion charge but be VERY careful about that. Make sure you are registered right away. I changed my plate to a private one and although I had been registerd for 7 weeks before going to London I was sent a fine which I refused to pay. Baliffs cae round it cost me £500 and I never got any of it back despite writing to transport for london.  The days bio diesel is the way to go. The kit to make it costs £300-£500 and any diesel car will take it but it might need to be measured to suit. People forget the fist ingredient ever used in diesel was rape seed oil. 2500 litres a year free. Free chip fat too and no conversion needed on most cars. Lovely.

lynslou77   10 #28 Posted February 1, 2010 I get quite a bit less MPG on gas, but when you consider that some garages sell the stuff for 43p/litre who cares  I used to be able to go from sheffield to Glasgow airport on £16 of LPG at 80mph constant. £32 a day fuel earning £150 a day. Nice.  Only downside it the burning temp. Once in Scotland it was -12 and I had to run back on unleaded. Not cheap! the gas wouldn't burn!  Also people say that gas cars are dangerous - that's crap. The tanks are 10 times stronger than a petrol tank and if you do manage to split one withint 5-10 seconds all of your fuel was evaporated in to the air! I'd rather have a crash in a LPG car than a petrol/diesel one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Classic Rock   10 #29 Posted February 1, 2010 Where are the best places to go to get LPG systems serviced or even repaired?  I think that the petrol station at Tankersley is wayyy overpriced on LPG. Avoid like the plague. The BP at Leppings Lane is a last resort for me.  I've not filled up at the station next to TGI's for a while as they don't have the price on the board outside.

newstar   10 #31 Posted October 7, 2010 I had my car converted by WGB autos which is at Highfield, cost me around £1300 which was about 5 years ago. Never had a trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
