That is only 5 pence per mile difference, that's why I don't 'buy' these LPG conversions.
Petrol - £100/422=23.69 pence per mile
LPG - £61.66/330=18.68 pence per mile
How much does a conversion cost, £2000 maybe?
At that rate, you'd have to do 40,000 miles just to break even.
Add in the additional maintenance, insurance complications, inconvience of actually finding an LPG station, I just don't understand the benefit.
If you worry about running costs, surely better to just buy a diesel?
