    Hello all,

    I have a 2003 Toyota Revo 2.0 GSX, and it is under 70t km only. Body condition is "super fresh" as most would say. The problem is, it is a gas guzzler! I have already converted it to an LPG, and no problems since 2007.

    But even running on LPG, the fuel consumption is still the same.

    I would like to seek your advice if it is feasible to convert it to a diesel engine, like the newer ones. What changes should I look out for? Actually I dont know where or how to start. If I talk to my casa advisor, he would immediately tell me to sell it (to him) and get a new innova!

    Maraming salamat sirs and mams for your inputs.

    Drive carefully.

    This is a common misconception. When one converts his vehicle to LPG, it does not make the consumption better. How could that be when you are still using the same engine? The savings is felt in the pump price. Premium Unleaded would be around P55/liter while Automotive LPG would be around P37/liter. That is where the "savings" is.
