It is NOT the price of LPG but the price difference of LPG vs gasoline that will give you the savings. Even if LPG, diesel and gasoline will double in price tomorrow, using LPG (if it's still cheaper than diesel & gasoline) will still give you savings simply because it is cheaper than the either two other fuels.

Conversion cost is the only major obstacle but consider that against buying a new fuel efficient small car (like the Honda Jazz or even the Kia Picanto).


i didnt say that i am againsts the use of lpg. what i am trying to say is that i am not in favor to convert my car to lpg. simple as that. why? it is because that i am not into it right now due to still skyrocketing prices of fuels and that includes the lpg. i believe that the convertion will not totally help me because the return of my investment shall take more than a year or even years due to high cost of convertion plus unstable prices of lpg in our market.
Like I said, the feasibility of a conversion will depend on how much you use your car in a normal situation. If you do somewhere around 200 kilometers a week, then the return of investment will not take to much time.

Kindly note that you have never provided us with the number of kilometers you normally do in a week or month to prove your point that it will take too long to realize your ROI.

As for the high cost of conversions, it really depends on your car type and model. For older cars, its actually getting cheaper by 10 to 20% since I got my LPG kit installed. Reason? there are more companies who are selling and installing LPG kits today and their prices are cheaper than companies like NAIADSS and MACRO.
