Has it gone unnoticed

With all the turmoil of MPs Exes and the like has nobody noticed that petrol prices are getting very close to £1 a litre again, my other have went to fill up yesterday and it was 99.2 at her garage near Manchester, what are the prices round this neck of the woods

Think Jaysay was referring to Petrol Tin Monkey.

Oh OK ... was the system installed when you bought your car ... can't remember if you bought from new ? Do you think the installation has been covered now by the low cost of the fuel ?

Presume you have a filling station that provides this gas near you ? Or do you have a tank in your garden ....

There are over 1200 filling stations around the country, In Accy, Dill Hall and the Shell at Rising bridge do it(Nightingales used to not sure if they still do as I rarely get that way). The cheapest places are usually Calor bottled gas outlets or even some Farm shops do it ( I use one just off J19 M6) .

I've never been short of somewhere to fill up and even if I was I can switch back to Petrol as and when I choose even whilst driving along.

This is my 4th LPG car now. I've converted the previous 3 but this one was already done. In all cases I 'saved' well over double the cost of the system. My last car ( Volvo) covered nearly 100K miles on the LPG system.

In my case as a Petrolhead it allows me to drive cars i want to even though I do high mileage. Without it as an option I'd be stuck in a smelly, noisy DERV.

I've covered ~ 250K miles on gas now so as you would guess, I'm a convert.
