I know that LPG is cheaper, better for the environment etc, but lets face it, they drill a whole through your body work. You wouldn't pay less tax (or if you did, it wouldn't be noticeable really)
and there is a huge cost involved in the conversion. How many miles do you do a year? Also, the switch will stand out - non OEM. Id stick to petrol - if you don't do huge mileages and don't keep your car for ages, it doesn't work out. Also they're more to insure and can't go on the Channel Tunnel etc. Plus the system needs servicing every year to ensure its safety.
