The lpg setup on my vectra actually makes the engine run smoother and seems quieter at speed. The power seems no different, but not sure how it would be on a lower powered car with less cylinders. When working out the economy, i probably drop between 1 and 2 mpg on gas, but at around 50 pence a litre, i would strongly advise those higher mileage users to look closer at this option. The other up side is there is also no congestion charge on cars that run on lpg. There are sellers on places like ebay offering self fit systems for about £500 including inspection and safety certification. Can be a really cost effective solution to the problems faced by those of us who get stuffed by living or working around London area or travel long distances.
