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?
James.
