    Does the cleanliness of running make up for the extra wear caused by the detonation?
    LPG much cheaper than diesel...

    But yes, reports of extra engine wear are a worry so think I'll sit on the sidelines for a while until there's some examples with 100K k on the clock...

    What is your typical LPG price in Aussie?
    Here weight for weight it's dearer than diesel, a 9kg bottle is around $16 to fill.

    About 70c a litre if you use auto gas compared to 140c litre diesel. I'm hoping that only putting a small amount in will give a slight increase in power and slight increase in economy without putting too much extra strain on anything.
