    nope... if you are complaining about the current cost to fill your tank with gasoline, you have two choices.

    1. Sell the Galant and get another (smaller) car with a smaller engine.
    2. install a LPG kit.

    LPG is cheaper than gasoline, costing around P22.70 to P24.00 per liter. The downside is the cost of installing a LPG system for your would be around P30K and would require some space from your trunk for the LPG storage tank.

    I have had my own car converted to run on LPG since August of last year.

    LPG is cleaner fuel. simplest explanation is lpg has lesser carbon molecules than gasoline, therefore cleaner emission.

    the only concern right now with lpg is:
    - leaks that can lead into the cabin
    - there are no regulations right now, so there is no accepted philippine standards on converted-lpg vehicles, meaning you don't know if the lpg kit that was stuck in your car is really safe from leakage/blowouts/etc.

    i emphasized on the philippine standards part because i'm not familiar with the lpg kits (which can have CE approval, or whatever) sold in manila.


    the pros:
    - cleaner engine and emission
    - cheaper in the long run

    the cons:
    - high start-up cost
    - right now: scarce lpg fuel stations (although the big 3 is starting to offer lpg too)

    In general, a small engine in a small & light car will definitely save you fuel.

    What car are you driving now and what millage are you getting with it?

ENGINE TRANSPLANT  for Galant??????
