am i right about saying that LPG creates less power than petrol as its effecively too high an octane ( certain tat i read somewhere that it about the same as 130 ? although i think this may be a bit higher than what i remember) if the engines set up to run solely on LPG with higher compression pistons then the gains are much higher

did look at and LPG conversion to save fuel but the fact it was going to be £1700 sorta made me go nah not worth it
