After some wait for conversion costs for the iS to come back, it seems that a multipoint LPG system can be had for about £895 INC Vat, but about 400 miles away (approx £120 Fuel cost)

or a single point one installed for £950 +vat (£1140) about 5 miles along the road..



So I took these figures and did som "back of a beermat" maths based on the current cost for My iS, and the costs of:

a Diesel getting 55mpg (UK) (£1.379/litre)

an LPG car getting 30mpg (UK) (£0.70/litre)

Miles to date Extrapolated to a year
Total Miles 11,767.1 15,297.2
Total Cost £1,778.05 £2,311.47
£ per mile Fuel £0.15

55mpg Diesel Fuel £1,341.22 -£436.83 £1,743.59 -£567.88
£ per mile Fuel £0.11

33mpg LPG £1,248.18 -£529.87 £1,622.63 -£688.84
£ per mile Fuel £0.11


These seem to suggest I'd pay back an LPG conversion in approx 2years.. But- Do I wanna have such Low MPG?

or is Diseasal a plan?

THere's an iS near to me for wale with LPG fitted-I could buy it, strip it and sell it on..

too many choices!

What would you do?
