at the momeny unleaded in my area is 1.03ish i think, and gas is 0.35 which i think it a fair bit different, but you gotta remember that you do get more kms and ease on the engine with petrol compared to gas, to it aint so dramatically cheaper as at first glance. Im hangin out for my LPG system to go kaputt so i can f**k it off, i myself favour fuel if the liquid variety

Ease of the engine? have u ever noticed the colour of the oil when u pull it out of a LPG fueled engine? compare that to a petrol powered engine... LPG does *NOT* hurt the engine more then ULP will. and the km difference.. yeah, like 20% difference max... generally less! i get 400 - 450km's from a tank of LPG same driving i get about 450-500 on ULP now consider the price difference... LPG is great.. and i'm not running some cheap povo 'economical' LPG system either. GRA all the way!

Its a question of two trains of thought; LPG - no upper cylinder lubrication Petrol - solvent properties washing away oil in the cylinders. In practice and from experience the LPG cars seem to show better longevity than their petrol counterparts. It's a route I'll be taking once it can be proved that the commercially available injection LPG setups will handle +200kw.

according to the news last night the president of the motor traders association says that market analysist are predicting that, others are saying $us100 a barrel, dunno how much/liter that is, but it's double the currant price per barrel
normal ulp in my town is $1.09/l and lpg is .469 cpl, bp give 4cpl discount for lpg so that goes down well, i just put 98 ron in my kwaka, that costs $1.17cpl |

http://www.fullboost.com.au/feature_car.php?storyId=473&p=1 not sure if you guys can see it without an account on fullboost, but its an xe fairmont which runs off LPG which claims to be giving out 348kw. Suprised to see it on the site considering how it looks nothing like the ricey s**t on that site normally |
