Seems like putting red top milk on honey Cheerios but if it saves you that many florins then why not I guess!

to be fair I only ever fill my tank to half way because I like to floor it in 2nd and 3rd and it makes the car too heavy if its full. :oops:

I like the idea of LPG, and having an easy, cheap filling point is a massive bonus, but its the added weight to a sports vehicle that puts me off. I can see the pocket change adding up though.. do you think the added weight/fuel usage is worth considering?
6th gen Prelude please Mr Honda. RWD 2.4 turbo lude.

IMHO if you can not afford all expenses including petrol then you should change your car for something cheeper. Prelude never been made to use LPG or to be economical in use. It has big lump and more/less 200bhp so it need extra fuel.


But it's only my point of view and please don't take it personaly. At the end of the day anybody can do with they cars whatever they want
