LPG conversions

[trappa 518]

Im looking at getting a new 4x4 and was just wondering if i was to get an lpg motor or a motor that was potentially an lpg conversion, do you pay as much tax as a petrol and diesel as the 4x4s seem to be getting a hammering on tax ( rightly or wrongly) cheers

if its on the log book as a dual fuel motor then yes you do mate for new non factory fitted jobbies the motor needs to be under 3 years old an you need to send the lpg installers certificate to the dvla an they should update your log book

how many mpg do you get of a gas conversion say on a v8 disco

I had my 1985 Range Rover V8 converted to LPG about 2 years ago it does not do more miles to the gallon but I pay 39p a litre, just filled it up yesterday and the man told me its going up 4.5p a litre next week. Still cheaper than petrol though.

Give us shout if you want more info.

ps

My mate fitted it for £200 the kit cost £400 odd but thats 2 year back.
