    usually nasa 10k km per year lang kami. bihira more than cause office - bahay lang naman yun ng mga sisters ko. i have to think about it cause 5 years na yung vios. baka mabenta na before pa ma-ROI ng 3 years hehe

    ^Kung bihira gamitin, di ma-sulit pards. In my case, it's the car we use everyday and we installed it when the car was barely a year old. Umabot sa point din that i would even bring that car out of town instead of the family car because i was really saving on fuel expenses. Sarap mag pedal to the metal na hindi mo iniisip ang FC.

    IMHO, an Auto-LPG converted car is actually cheaper to use on out of town drives. You can fill up both LPG and gasoline tanks. Use LPG until empty and switch to gasoline. Double the driving range without refueling.

    Yup, a full Baguio trip would cost me around Php1,500 versus P2,500 to 3,000 on our other cars. I would tank up in Total Balintawak or Uni Oil along Minda Ave. then i would gas up again at Baguio (support na rin for the LPG station there to keep them going). So far i have not driven far enough to warrant a switch back to gas as even my Manila - San Narciso/San Felipe Zambales - Manila roundtrips before could be done on a tank of LPG (300kms vs my 500km tank range).
