I'm supprised how much LPG has gone up at my local shell station in just over 4 months is jumped from 47.9 to 59.9 ! So much for keeping the fuel duty gap between petrol and LPG ...

Cars still running perfectly on LPG with no real difference in peformance ....

Petrol has got a hell of a lot more expensive too The duty on LPG will go up by 1p a litre more than whatever unleaded goes up by so it won't be too bad. Have you tried finding another local source for your LPG? I pay 51p a litre for mine at the moment, I get it from the garage who fitted the conversion.

Cheers,
John

Just had my LPG service, highly recommend servicing every 12,000 to 15,000. I thought my LPG was running smoothly but after the service it has been further impoved !
