Personally I think a new section should be added to the forum now to accommodate this and future alternative fuel conversions. I can already see jimmy hackers name all the way down the list of authors in the new section. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Had a bit of a glitch with a part that the company fitted incorrectly. They went bust and recently had it sorted (long story short).But I have now been driving on gas for a few months to have built up history and I'm now able to give a better comparison. Again long story short: Negatives: Costs over £1k for a decent conversion Postives: Only 12p per mile now, instead of 21p per mile like I was on petrol. This is worked out on a weekly fill of £30 LPG and £5 petrol. Smoother idle and quieter engine (when driving, otherwise if bonnet is up its slightly more clicky) Get a small car tax rebate (£10 - £20 a year). Sorted out my stalling problem but only when on gas. Still stalls now and then (not very often) when on petrol if I let it). Average MPG is 29mpg on combined fuel. Only 1mpg average less than petrol ________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |

You missed off a negative, surely now not being able to open the car with your remote key fob and having to put the key in is one?  ________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

I've had an LPG car now, albeit for a few days. Have a lot of time for it, but it was noticeably slower on the gas rather than SUL. Shame it had a dodgy MOT and rotten sills or I would have kept it.Only way on earth I could afford a 4.4 V8  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Well I should have thought so but I'm not really happy with my Focus fuel consumption lucky to get 300miles before fuel light usually I get about 275 before fuel light... admitedly it is a 55ltr tank so it is better than 310miles(before fuel light) to a 60ltr tank in the '6 but I could justify slightly worse fuel economy just to get rid of the rusty oval and get another Pug! Been driving over Devizes a lot lately (A361) and it used to be an awesome little (10mile) drive in the '6 to my local/choice Peugeot Garage... The focus handles well just doesn't have the power to get by people as easily as the '6 did  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

If I brim my tanks I get about 700 miles!! Thats a good feeling, 400miles on petrol and 300 on gas. On another thread most were getting 350miles approx so you're telling me the focus is less economical than a 6!!________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |

Looks an expensive outright conversion. I can see why its been done but time well tell how reliable it is. After all, these are still only French cars  ________________________________________ My Myspace / Band Myspace / My FacebookTeam China™ GTi6 always more to come.... pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5 pic6 pic7 pic8 pic9 pic10 ------------------------------- * Quote of the day:- "Grow some balls.. but why balls???

But I never have full tank of petrol now so just giving example. For a GTi6 on petrol to do approx 1000 miles it'll cost about £200. For me to do 1000 miles it'll cost me about £120.
