But they can be pricey I think! Denso K20PRUs are around £1.50 each.

the NGK LPG plugs are just Iridium plugs. Standard plugs are better from my experiance. I'd only consider the Iridium plugs if they are hard to change with engines that need the manifolds taking off to swap plugs.

I've noticed my LPG economy like-for-like is starting to drop.

The only thing I've not changed are the plugs, looking at the prices I won't be putting the NGK ones mentioned above. Are the denso k20pru correct for a factory bi-fuel S60?

You should be able to track down the correct Denso plugs here: http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/
