Well, I think the news the past couple of day have been covering the petition to roll back LPG, so I think bababa din yan.

The auto-LPG prices has gone down a bit in the last couple of weeks.

Any updates on tsikot.com LPG users?

So far my car has been running well.

I just had my car converted last week. 1.3L carburated. So far so good. Cost per liter at NAIADSS was P24.20. Is this low already?

I'm expecting it to get lower.

What's your car? And how much was the total cost of the conversion?
Thanks.

Actually the pricing for sequential injection isn't that surprising. Auto_xer and I did a comparitive price study if we built an automotive LPG system using nitrous oxide kits as the starting point. The pricing came out somewhat similar.
