Yes it is, its approx 72p per litre of LPG which lasts about the same as a litre of petrol, if not longer because of how I drive it. Power isn't bad, it's not quite as responsive on LPG, but that's a trade-off I can handle when the fuel is half the price of super unleaded.
I use LPG for cruising and I don't often engage VTEC on it (which is probably why it lasts so long) then one touch of a button and its running on super again :)

OMG I want it! I use my car to drive to work every day as my daily drive I do 100 miles a day! That would be ideal, did you get it converted?

Mine came to me already converted. You can pick up a kit for about a grand or have one fitted for about £1300. If you're doing that kind of high mileage it will pay for itself in less than a year in petrol spend savings and from then on it will keep saving you money. It's just the initial outlay that can be a stumbling block.

Well... Front tyres, disks and pads needed. Apart from it over heating on the testing ramp because the fans not working yet and it boiled to nearly exploding point and the CO2 running rich it passed! Good old lude!

Tried to tax my car online yesterday only to find out my MOT is out! Are reverse lights mandatory and will a split cv boot fail or just be an advisory?? :?
