Damn! I always wondered if that would work. Do you know anything about it? MPG? Performance changes?

Default I think if you live in UK or Thailand,Europe.It's quite common...

to see the car running with LPG.I saw a lot of S-cars have LPG on it.I'd say the performance is not significantly drop.I might say it's the same.If the car is properly tuned.the LP nozzle must be corrected with the car Displacement,HP.
So it need expertised to do the job.MPG is slightly less than Gasoline.anyway,LP's octane is ~105 compared to Gasoline.I have Volvo,BMW&amp;Mercedes
with LPG but Audi ;-).The reason for not installing the LP on my UrS6.I use my car only
6,000 miles/year So It takes too much times to hit the breakeven the cost of LPG equipment.
here's some pics of my friend's S6 with LPG system..

And I use a BFH and a big chisel to get it started turning if it's really stuck on there.

Default WOW, That certainly fill the empty spaces of the car.

I had a look at the VOGAS systems a while back. Not in any interest to get one, a guy at a car show in San Diego had a system on a non running display motor. I had always been curious bout running them on a turbo charged car.

So is there any pinging at 105 octane?
