I'm with you on this. I've been thinking about gassing the Range Rover for
while now, but this news just puts it off the agenda. Given the fact that
fuel economy is worse on lpg, it will only need the price of lpg to rise to
about 60p/litre for gas to become more expensive per mile than unleaded.
Round here (West Wales) it's already over 40p. If GB raises the duty so
that the price increases by (say) 10p a year, not only may you never recover
the conversion cost but you will be lumbered with a gas system you will not
use. The only benefit will be the increased range of the vehicle.

I'm waiting to see what the budget delivers in April, but I'm not hopeful.
