Totally agree with calculations at 16 per mile..doesn,t sound that horrible at that figure but then ...5 miles per litre at 90p then 25 miles at 5 litres..starts to get nasty as I do between 150/180 miles a day..so that is nearer £30=00 a day..think I will stop that calculation and have a drink to steady nerves..who started this anyway ??

currently 20p/mile at 96.9p/litre

Have a bad back to thank for avoiding a 190mile round trip commute. 5 days a week that would have been approx 45,600 miles or £9,120.00 for the year contract. :-/

You should be converting to LPG with miles like that in a year if you did do it you would save just under £6000

I worked out the cost for me to do those miles and it was £3192 big saving on £9120.

The reason I went for LPG was because the job i had when i got the car was an 800 mile a week drive to work and back and i worked the savings out to be on LPG about £3800 a year over petrol and that was just for the commute not anyother driving

What sort of cost to convert and is there any loss of performance?

Off the top of my head about 800 DIY and 2000 by a garage. with the newer systems not really much loss Martin Is The LPG man he does DIY converstions on his cars.

I bought my 2000 w reg Megga with LPG 62k on the clock for 2,500 but my LPG system is an old Mixer Type not an injector type like the newer systems

SGI kits are around 4 £600 - £700 6 £700 - £800

You then need to fit.

Professional fitting you are looking at £1500 - £1600 for a 4, £1600-£1800 for a 6

Making room for the evaporator is the difficult bit

I've done about 320miles to 3/4 a tank before now, Liverpool -> Macclesfield -> Amesbury -> London

Average speed was about 80mph, got caught in a few traffic snarlups too, and also a slight detour for a quick rest stop.
