I am in nearly ready to put my 6 back on the road after head and bottom work. All my own doing, not a dealer in sight (who needs them robbing pug bandits).
I do about 18000 miles a year and this is expensive, so I am thinking about moving to the dual fuel life style
Is anyone out there running this at the moment or know of any 6 on the gas?
I have searched the forums and cant find anything.

not heard of it on a 6', but have on other cars. Costs a hell of alot and in fairness i have been told it would have been better to get a run-around car instead.

Surely it will be several years before you would see any real saving?

I wouldn't bother, a lot of money for little gain and you are relying on the gas prices staying low which I'm sure they won't!

don't do it, unless you go into Central London the savings aren't worthwhile. We run LPG vans and they are a pain in the arse eat their way through valve seats and stem seals to mention a few things. plus with a 6 its not likely to be a car you'll keep for 100K to make the most of the benefits.
