Just think every time you put your foot down and hear that beautiful noise, "because your worth it".
Now recalculate
LPG 71.9p per ltr
Diesel 126.83 per ltr
(average prices in Swindon from petrolprices.com)
The same hyperthetical journey would cost £7.26 on LPG and £9.22 on diesel
Thats assuming that diesel is still returning 25mpg but that lpg has caused the V8 to drop to 18 MPG.
In fact for the costs to both equal out at £9.22 each the LPG V8 would need to drop to just over 14mpg (14.18 to be exact)
That's all on paper of course but you can see why I'm considering a LPG converted V8. There's loads available with LPG already on and there is 2 filling stations where I live, less than 1/2 mile from work

Im sure iv managed to get about 22 with careful driving from the 3.9. Should really do a full service,that would prob help. Change all the breathers too.
