Hi
I'm thinking of getting an LPG system to convert my 200tdi to run on diesel and LPG together. Companies selling them seem to suggest 20-30% saving in overall fuel costs, as well as a significant performance increase!
They say the main reason for saving fuel is due to the mix giving more bang, hence lower throttle positions can be used and hence less fuel gives the same power required. As well as this about 25% of the fuel going in is priced 60 odd pence less a litre.
Kit costs about £600 to fit yourself.
Has anyone got a land rover tdi (200 or 300) running lpg, and how much roughly do you actually save?? Is it as good as it sounds?!
If doing about 10,000 miles a year, a very quick calculation showed it should save about £600-700 a year at the current fuel costs..
