    I'm considering getting a RR 4.2 SC converted.
    When I first read this I assumed you meant a contractor's motor, i.e. a Roller.
    If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

        I got a VW Polo 1.4 converted when I bought it, and sold it at 120,000 miles with the engine still running great (sold because it was LHD and it wasn't worth the cost to register in the UK). Meanwhile it was close to free to run.

          Hmm.... I'm oft asked this question and my reply would be
          when ever it's looking for a bit of action....

            I want a big 4x4 with 400bhp, that doesn't mean I should bend over and get shafted by New Liebour.

            It's called mitigation.

                Why the **** not? The technology and infrastructure are in place.

                    I'm just curious as to why so few people convert their cars if it’s so good? By my very rough guesses from autotrader data only 0.06% of petrol cars run on LPG, saying that a quick glance at the cars for sale does have an unusually high proportion of V8's!!

                      Maybe the LPG owners are happy with their cars and don't want to sell?
