anyone else feel smug while refuelling???

[FatLadZ]

I cant help but feel really really smug when i am refuelling my c70 T5.
OK its a bit of a fiddle to put the nozzle on as mine is located on a box section hinged bracket that tucks into the bumper, but once on it is smugness all the way.

just wondered if anyone else gets the smug feeling too?

I feel smug when filling with Vpower!

[Penguinistics]

Any smug feeling I have goes away somewhat when filling up an 80 litre tank with V-Power. The numbers flashing by are just too big for comfort.....

[GMad]

Nope, cant say as I do really.
The Volvo only takes petrol but, the Trans Am is dual fuel and to be honest, is almost always run on petrol anyway..

I get all excited burning Vpower, the quicker the better for me. It could be worse, it could be £5 a litre.

Refuelling with LPG... FatLadz? I know what you mean. I'm always bemused at how many people have closed minds - are prejudiced, indeed - against LPG. Still, it's their loss...

I have a V70 D5 and a T5 , the D5 always does over twice the mpg of the T5 no matter what the driving style ,( I have had up to 80mpg from the D5 and 37 mpg from the T5 but in both cases its just not a practical way to drive a car 25 and 55mpg are more realistic , ) and I thought that mpg on lpg is slightly worse than petrol so on this basis its not more economical than diesel even though its half the price . However doing it the way fatlad has done it makes sense to me and if I can find the bits for the same cost I will be doing the same to my T5 , it would turn it from its present gasguzzler status to a viable long distance car , would even consider gettting rid of the D5 as they seem to be going up in price again on the second hand market .

depends on how competent you are and how carefulkl you are
id reccomend fitting yourself if you can find a dealere who will put his name to your work before giving yopu a certificate.
but it really does need to be fitted to the correct specifications.
luckily i spent 3 weeks researching into lpg before i starte fitting mine.
otherwise your looking a little over a thousand pounds
i have a £100 off voucher from Hytek Autogas that ill hapily pass on to someone geuninly interested in getting a gas installation from them.
