apparently the united states is lifting the ban on oil drilling in their waters. apparently its for their reserve or something. dont know the full story but i hope it helps with the prices over here

I have put LPG in my boot before in my S2K...................I ran out of gas at my BBQ last week so I grabbed a swap n go at Bunnings. Thats as close as LPG gets to my car.

The way I see it is this. I used to sell cars, and the amount of guys who came in, (and there were plenty of whipped married guys!) and asked "hey, can I put this Ford FPV F6 Typhoon on gas?" was amazing. I simply said it's a performance car, with that comes higher maintinance, not just higher fuel consumption. LPG = Heat, and has less range per litre too. Gas motors do wear out quicker. Performance cars have more expensive brakes, higher quality oils, usually need higher octane (although gas apparently is quite high?) better tyres the list goes on. It's a whole maintinence package, not just fuel which is the day to day expense we all hate.

If you want economy, buy a Camry.......they are a great car! But if you want performance, most people are happy to pay.

Fuel, well I remember when if it was over 70c per litre I just kept driving! We have got it pretty good here in AUS, it just pisses me off that all the tax money from fuel is meant to be spent in part on improving the roads. Now if you own an S2000, as most of us do you will know that here in VIC anyway alot of the roads are falling to pieces. You hit a bump and it knocks a tooth out! I am at standard height and it is getting pretty bad once you are off a Freeway.

Just my 2c, which makes me wonder what can you buy for 2c these days?

gas tuned properly can have the same power goals if not a hair more than petroleum. Look at gasresearch guys here in melb. One benefit of gas would be NO EPA!!!! hehehehe I think the lpg is also of a high octane rating.

gas used to cos like 2 cents per/L a few years go and just like petrol has hiked up to 70ish cents. Its basically a by product they get from fuel production.

Gov needs to invest in natural gas i think, we have tonnes of it here, yet the gov pushes the info aside...

fuels all a big gov/corporate/usa scam.

costs half as much, gets you just over half as far, and puts you 2 grand out of pocket to begin with... 2 grand buys a bit of fuel even if it's not as much as it used to.

had it on a few family cars (vans, commodores etc) over the years and wouldn't bother again, especially with something i wanted decent performance and reliability out of!
