I reckon to have saved something in the region of £15,000 in fuel costs over the time I've had the car.

There have only been two reasons why I've kept the same car for this length of time : Firstly, the LPG has been a storming cost-saving success, and secondly the car is so totally comfortable, reliable, practical and utterly brilliant.

Were I doing the same again I'd start with a V70 - the 'old' shape pre-2000 Classic if I could find one!

Many thanks Jack. Would you mind if I ask what MPG or, even better, cost per mile you get in your V70?
I also suspect that my 14.1p per mile might improve a bit if I had a proper LPG service! Any idea on a good LPG service company near Mansfield (50 mile radius or more would be fine). Many thanks. Steve.
