    Have you ever imagined an LPG-converted Kia Picanto 1.1? would it par on hybrid cars in terms of fuel consumption?

    Fuel consumption will not change (much) when shifting fuels from gasoline to LPG.

    What will go down will be the COST of fuel. But you will have to consider the initial cost of installing the LPG kit. You might not recover the cost of the LPG kit within 3 to 4 years (unless the Picanto travels more than 350km per week).

    Although i've seen 1.6 taxis like a Pizza GLXi Mitsubishi and a Corolla GLi. Ewan ko nga lang kung LPG-powered since walang "LPG" stickers sa likod.

    Its a good bet that most of the taxi cabs in metro manila have converted to using LPG.

    NAIADSS install the LPG filling nozzle hidden behind the fuel filler door. Other installers install the LPG filling nozzle right on the side of the fender or bumper near the gasoline filling door.
