91.9 at tesco yesterday, no idea about the other petrol station around here, probably about £1.50 knowing those robbers.  I refuse to use the other station in Brackley (the BP on the A43) as the idiots they employ make the Tesco attendents look like geniuses....

Cheapest here is 89.9,but they have been doing offer on back of council car park tickets for an extra 3p off a litre,so almost getting bearable at 86.9..especially as I drive 650/750 miles each week.

To save you more petrol Entwood.....not sure of the changeover switch you have fitted tho, but if the same as mine.....when starting from warm/hot press down the switch just before and during starting....makes it start on lpg and not petrol  :y
Dont really recommend trying to start on LPG when cold.....altho it will...my 2.2 will....but misses quite a bit until warmed up a bit.

My change over is controlled by a pressure switch, so it usually starts on Gas when warm anyhow, takes about 1/2 - 3/4 mile to change from petrol to gas when cold.

AFAIK the BRC system has no facility to force a start on Gas, but I'm willing to be told otherwise !!

Those figures compound mine Entwood... I've not really been keeping track like you but said I'd save enough in 7000 miles to payback the cost of converting... I've done 6900 so far and have said that I'm upping payback to 8k just to be safe so it'll be saving me money by the middle of January at the latest :y :y :y :y
