Buy a series that's tax exempt
That a very impressive figure! Ive talked to a few truck drivers, most seem to ave 6-7 mpg!it's a euro 6 Mercedes and the company are impressed cos it's averaging 11 mpg
Previously when I had my 110 V8 3.5 on SU carbs adapted to open LPG system it was lovely during the summertimes but needed to keep on starting on petrol to keep the carbs lubed and monitoring of the oil. Winter can be a sod mainly for getting the engine warmed up and then flicking over to LPG is a fine art while in traffic while waiting for the dip in performance. I think the fuel inject variety work better due to the nature of the switch over not being that harsh.Buy a series that's tax exempt
I have considered putting a lpg v8 lump in mine a couple of times but I've also considered selling it and buying a Wrangler that's already lpg converted

you'll probably live longer than most of us on here. I also think your right in saying that diesel will still be going but will be either banned from cities and some towns or charged a shed load of money to enter. It also looks like plans are afoot to charge diesel users more for road tax, so many hobby diesel users will end up having to sell on or scrap their vehicles due to higher cost of road tax and diesel.I had my doubts about the Donald, but Brexit, well I knew that was on the cards. And at 70 this year, saying something like diesel will be going long after my days is a pretty fair bet too.
And twenty or thirty years ago the government was telling people to buy diesel and even offering subsidies to get it to happen.
Seems like it was only yesterday...there were old school smokey all mechanical diesel astras, renaults and vw golfs all over the place.
As an ex haulier using up to date vehicles with ad blue injection I can categorically tell you that the emissions frim those 44 tonne trucks is less per kilometre than a 2.0 volkswagen dieselWell, that first item is hardly new news, it's an article from 3 months ago, 2 Nov 2016. And it is in the Guardian the tree hugger's handbook.
With the exception of the first BBC article, the others are from last year too.
It is strange though how everytime the problem of vehicle exhaust fumes arises, there's always a picture of an old rusty car exhaust tailpipe.
Diesel fumes in the cities might well be problem, I won't argue with that, but so are petrol exhaust fumes. The major causes of these problems are unlikely to be "light" vehicles only but some of the larger vehicle engines such as buses, lorries, bin lorries, fire appliances and so on.
When was the last time the writer stood on a platform in Paddington Station? And what about diesel powered vessels on the river?
What has brought this to the fore now is the almost permanents high pressure weather conditions over the country giving rise to very light winds and early winter fog trapping the pollution, which I agree isn't much fun if you're in it.
As to a ban on diesel engines, well that just ain't gonna happen in my lifetime or probably even yours.
I don't see how that can be to do with vehicle fumes, a parked car doesn't emit any.
Dont go to the ****hole,spend your money elsewhere
