Some discussion on this forum courtesy of "search"

Hi All
Did the search and there is a lot of info there but no first hand use detail of someone that has done the conversion. I am looking for better fuel consumption and maybe some extra performance but that is not of great importance. The Rangie gives me that.

I can get 8.4 litres per 100 km on a trip from Sydney to Canberra in a Commodore but only 17 litres per 100 km driving from home to work.

The Tdi Discovery averages 10 l / 100 regardless of the trip


So if the answer is ...what is the question

Deleted.

Due to my confusing a post (in another forum) on not being able to use vegetable oil in a TD5 - nothing to do with lpg.

Sorry for any inconvenience/alarm.

Only reason I didn't get it set up was my lease and my pocket doesn't have the $3800 to install it.

For $4000 bucks it gives you 2-3lt per 100km better consumption and similar performance to a chipped engine. Basically if you do more than 20k km per year or a lot of towing it may be for you.????.Also the added bonus of 50 to 70 cents per lt for lpg.
