not too sure but question is "why"..... RB1 is not consumed a lot of fuel even running around town. i normally fill the tank once fortnightly runs abt 420km for one full tank.

i do around 450 to 600 a week and being a pensioner it cost a bit if fuel. i like to go on exploration trips :) now ive retired so looking at ways to save gas . i suppose i could slow down on the driving but after just getting it i dont want to get out of it :)

I really dont see the reason to justify LPG, unless you do lots of miles like taxis.

typical LPG conversion would cost maybe $3000? that's alot of money for petrol before you're talking about some saving. not to mention it's quite bad for engine wear.

same goes for E10 ethanol, it gives lower milage compare to normal unleaded, the savings just isn't there at all.

i dont use the e10 i noticed that on my old car ill just stick with unleaded and try cut down my trips during the week

I used to work at a dealer and have had this question asked a few times.
Honda recommends AGAINST the use of LPG on ALL it's vehicles. you can call honda customer relations if you wish to confirm this and ask for more details as to why

I think it's better to sell your odyssey and change to civic hybrid or prius.

thanks guys ill stick with my oddy and just cut back on the daily 200 or 300 klm trips when i get the urge to explore :)
