Running LPG also means you can de-cat unleashing more power and also giving it more of a crisp rasp.
Will it still pass MOT standards de-cat? Even though it starts on petrol? I'd love to get this done on mine if it does.

Facelift n62 engine is even more economical. From 85l full tank i get:
Uk motorway: 280-300 miles
Europe motorway: 250-280
Germany autobanh : 200-220

Had my 4.4 facelift for 4 years, came with an LPG (BRC) system and touch wood hasn't missed a beat, £45 to fill up and get 200+ miles, a no brainer.
