Has anybody ever done this to their car and is there much difference in performance afterwards?

There was someone on PUK that had done it with a DIY kit.

Can't remember who, but they are in Bristol somewhere!

That's the fella!!

But yes, LPG is only worth it if you'll be doing lots of motorway miles where you'll achieve a high MPG.

Found his thread, cost him about £800 to fit himself, not something I would be overly confident doing myself. Looks like he saved a lot of money tho. Something to think about I suppose.

There was an ATR that was LPG'd but it had issues and has now, as far as I know, gone to the great scrap heap in the sky. It just didn't work on high compression/high revving engines... :?
