    What's your fastest speed using a LPG powered vehicle?

    For me, its 165kph (so far). Not bad for an AE111 Corolla 1.6L A/T.

    Somewhat OT, can ANY vehicle be converted to run on LPG? Say, an Expedition or E150. Not concerned with speed or anything except fuel economy.

    try reading through this thread

    but the short answer is: any gasoline powered vehicle can be converted to run LPG.

    Bakit mas nakakatakot ang LPG? Its just as safe/dangerous as gasoline given the same circumstances.

    I touched 170kph along Star Tollway, Batangas yesterday. I loved cruising between 150 & 165kph for kilometers!

    Niky: Hehehe, the driver was quite good. The vios felt okay but a bit shaky.

    GH: indeed,cruising at high speeds is a natural high. LOL. No wonder man is pushing for greater and greater speeds.

    Ehehe... the thing is, medyo stiffish at magaan ang Vios... EDSA is a bit bumpy for high speeds in a car like that.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
