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.

Let put things right here! You obviously haven't done you homework on the subject!
1. The switch can be hidden where ever you like. Mine is near the steering column is around 1cm square
2. They cost NO MORE to insure. I did several quotes for my car insurance this year on petrol then told them I had LPG - no increase!
3. The system does need servicing and it cossts around £60. It's not for safety, it is to clean the injectors and replace the gas filter.
4. You did get a saving on your road tax.
5. You do pay HALF per litre over unleaded. I do 370 miles on £22 of fuel. Enough said.
6. I do 40000 miles a year, in under a year it will have paid for itself.
