Is there some sort of LPG conspiracy going on or is it just limited to my neck of the woods? I dont travel far for LPG, infact I have around 4/5 pumps within the local area; none of which have had LPG for the last 3 weeks. They all claim they have "broken pipes". Sounds fishy.

I didnt realise how heavy footed I was with the X5 as all I seem to be doing is topping up Petrol.

Any other LPG'ers facing an issue?

If I make the meet im hoping there will be some on the way up...

Imy, no issues in North West Lancashire. In fact i found a shell that does LPG @ 63.9! also general prices have gone down. Seems odd though that 5 garages have it 'unavailable'

There are less garage in Hertfordshire stocking LPG now.

I would have to travel 15 miles to get to a station and back again which somewhat negates the benefits of swopping to lpg for me

Hope there's no conspiracy as mines just gone in for the conversion...lol.

Tbh there are loads of outlets round the midlands and fairly cheapish.

[/quote] not if you fill up with 80+ litres a time. You'll soon see the benefits!

Ok here in Jarrow (well last time i topped up anyway!) 

It's ok near me as Hilton (who did my conversion last week) gave me a full tank for nothing so currently I'm paying 0p per litre PMSL

Are you sure he didnt secretly charge you in your final bill?

Nope as the install was a tad over £2,100 which was still cheaper than a couple of other Prins installers (and they've spent more time and effort on it to have it done exactly the way I wanted it, etc). I actually got the full tank after paying the pre agreed price.

Nice one on that

How is the power between LPG and petrol?

Absolutely no negative difference. I'm very impressed by the whole system.

how long do you predict before its paid for itself? do you do a fair bit of mileage?

Doing an average of 10k miles a year with roughly getting 19mpg on petrol then the LPG should save me somewhere in the region of £1500 just in fuel. However I can see myself using it so much more now and so should see bigger savings and recoup quicker.

I know what your saying! The LPG conspiracy is still going on in my ends. Means im still driving on petrol. I just didnt realise how heavy footed I was, and because I got the double din install i have no OBC functions so iv really only just noticed the cost of my driving since iv been filling up almost every other weekend!
I now have to consider whether the hard acceleration is worth it!
