I did, but then the only place to fit the LPG tank (thought about CNG as well, but there is no CNG here) would be where the back seats are. I would need to keep the petrol tank because there are very few safe LPG refill places here and the boot is too small, even for something like a 10 kg cylinder. Kei cars really are difficult to modify in all reality.

As I've mentioned before, I think I'm just going to get used to the low fuel mileage. It's also worth mentioning that most modifications done to cars here aren't very safe or professionally done, so in a way, I'd rather sacrifice the fuel economy for safety. There have been many LPG explosions on buses and countless other problems when cars get swapped by shops so, I'm happy knowing I have a factory designed car at least. As a small example, my brake master cylinder started leaking so I thought that a shop would at least be able to install that much correctly. Two days later the new unit leaked dry because they didn't tighten down two of the four fittings. Simple things like that scare me away from shops, hence I do ALL of my own wrenching now.
