it dont make no difference to the performance. I had that worry before having it fitted. The guy who fitted it reasured me there would be no difference and he was right. the best thing is i can have a heavy right foot and not worry about the cost, as i only pay 32pence per litre.
 
LOL how much does the conversion cost though... is it really worht it?

Fuel half price or so. SO assuming 30mpg on both gases (its a bit less on lpg but not huge and assuming 45p a ltier for LPg (a bit high but compensates for the fast its lower mpg) and 90p for petrol then ever 1k you'll save £67 not a huge amount realy 20k will just cover your costs.

However if you drive hard (ie 20mpg or so) you'll break even in 16k. The extra you sell the car for (after all cars doing the equivalent of 50~60mpg) is profit plus the extra milage after 20k is money n your pocket.

You might fine the system need servicing ever now and again a work collegue has his servied at every MOT costs a bit more but nothing huge. Cheaper road fund also.
