Yeah people hate gas but meh! i dont care if i loose a little power, i dont need that power when im driving around like a normal person :) and besides, double the amount of km's for the same price? id be insane not to use it hahaha...

lmao nah no bbq comments, my old car had lpg and if anyone said anything i just told them to suck a **** :p lmao, that usually worked AND i dont know what colour im going to paint the bumpers, i thinking black but i always wanted a full white vn slapped on calais rims..... dont know if im going to do it or not....

hard choice's :( lol

good point. it would look nice all white on calais rims. well the photoshop in my head said so anyways.
oh and i think even dual fuel systems are decent. im getting a vapour injection system on my car. my gf's dad (mechanic) has the setup on his ls1 and is making the same reasonable power on petrol as gas. so its more power, cheaper. haha.
