where you getting these figures from? LPG is half the price and better economy, so savings will be more than £400 mate... well for me anyway.

jesus i had a LPG car!
full tank £15 300 miles bargain.. only slightly lower performance than petroleum.. tank goes in boot... then teres valves etc and a mod to the throttle body.
only dangers are a rear end shunt.. explosion. i had a switch under the dash with lpg level gauge to switch between petroleum and lpg... could switch any time any speed anywhere. a guy had it done on his 172 to good standards.

The problem for me is, how do you know its fitted correctly? All cars we had in with knackered engines had their systems installed at various recommended outlets by professional installers.
They did last a good 30-40k miles before any damage was evident.
