me dads just bought a 2.5 mondeo esate its really nice all leather inside and wood and that but its got a computer and it can tell you MPG and that and when he puts foot down (not even flooring it) it goes down to 3 MPG!!! but anyway anyone ever done LPG and how much did it cost?

Ive seen kits for £500 but another chat room i saw said £1600

I'd imagine there is a difference in quality between an LPG kit for £1600 and for £500, but obviously there can be ripoffs at the upper end of the scale as well as the lower.

I would say that as a group, BCF members tend to know more technical stuff about cars than many of the members of the car forums I frequent. I know for a fact that there are about five or so members on here who are more knowledgable than all of the members of the Subaru forums combined!! Wink

Sure that isn't the intended purpose of those instant fuel consumption read outs. But could get a Rover 827 down to that as well Very Happy .

Are they both kits or does one include installation. Is one a proper set of hidden tanks and the other just a small donut shaped tank to replace the spare wheel? Be aware that it might well affect your insurance, and your insurance company might well not want to touch a home install with a barge pole.

All the best
