I've been on LPG for nearly 5 years now. I pay 33.5p/litre and my big comfy Saab 9000 does 25mpg on it. As I do 120 miles a day commute to work and back this makes quite a difference to my fuel bill.

As for the goverment not incresing tax on it. There is a EU directive with 3/4 years left that stops our goverment increasing the tax on it any higher that what they put on petrol/diesel. Even then if it was to go too high people would start doing the dodgy and using standard propane bottles.( not dodgy if you pay the road fund license due on it).

Anyone for biodiesel?
