Broadly because to get to the galactic miles these cars do, takes a heap of fuel, petrol versions could do with a gas conversion. But with BIG caveats, by their very nature, many conversions get bodged in, thus LPG gets a bad rap. Volvo's own factory-fit LPG/CNG cars need an eye on them. The poor install issue is not LPG's fault, but listen to the naysayers, and you'd think so.

Yet done right, and I DO mean done right, gassing a car works. For the savings involved, it's worth grasping, how to apply it, and why. A poor install will be a nightmare. If you're capable of keeping one of these cars on the road, you're capable of fitting a gas kit - and doing it well. If you're careful it'll cost you £3-400 (£550 at most) in parts, and pay-back in months. Depending on your miles, it probably isn't as viable to have a pro fit for you, pay-back will be 3-4 times longer.

Perhaps; though personally I think LPG is a big white elephant - more due to personal experience on other marques as opposed to Volvos. It must have good valve lubrication for starters, which for sure the likes of the early factory fitted Ford system didn't - DIRE for valve seat regression!!
