Good point, but once the engine starts, as it's warm, it switches back to gas by the time you get into second gear. It takes around 10 seconds.

Anybody out there have long-term experience running their MINI on LPG? have seen a 1.6 Cooper converted to LPG but am a little wary. I have run many cars on LPG for 25 years.

Doesn't conversion of a normally aspirated engine from gasoline to propane cause a 20 percent loss in horsepower?
