OK
with a camary i would use the gas to cause an explosion, and get the insuance money for it........
Seriously, using LPG has compremises. Often using dual fuel LPG the economy is worse than with petrol (say 30% or so). To recover intitial setup costs of say $2.5k and assuming you are running econimy with the camary of 10ltr/100km
therefore
Assuming lpg=50c/ltr and petrol $1.30/ltr. and economy is 13l/100km on lpg (7.69km/ltr)gets out the calulator..........
Formula ((setup cost [$2500])/(savings per litre petrol-lpg [$0.65]))*(km per litre [7.69])
=29,576 km to recover cost only.
If you done straight gas conversion , with increased compression, specific computer porgramming etc etc (say capital cost of around 6-7k$) you would be looking at a hefty 75000km recovery cost.
Worth it----------------well erm um NO!!!
