I agree with above and will add, it's getting even harder and harder to buy LPG in Tas. Coles/Shell no longer sell it so there is four servo's in Launceston that no longer have it. Demand is decreasing, for sure. Unless you have injected gas the reduced mileage means it's more expensive than petrol to run. We are over a $1.03 litre here for gas and ULP can be bought for $1.09 all week, every week. I had gas and once the system was getting near 10 years old it started to break down quite frequently. In the end the module and switch **** itself, converters need cleaning every 12 months or you start to lose power and economy.... So if its 300 bucks a year for servicing the gas, and you use 40% more gas if using suction system, not to mention the restrictor ring that fits in the TB, waste of time and cargo space if you ask me, who has been there and done that. I will never go gas again......
The thing is the servo industry bitch that there’s not enough volume in LPG so more and more LPG pumps are being shut down. My response to that would be that the servo owners being retarded money grabbers doesn’t help with the volumes being sold. If they sold LPG at a fair margin on cost like they used to people would be getting LPG conversions again and increasing sales volumes. They cut their own nose off to spite their face.
Ive only got LPG because the car came with it when I bought it. It’s definitely not worthwhile to get it fitted anymore.
