You'll save $50 a week on average... So probably 30,000kms... Or about a year and a half depending on how many kms you do...But then your car will be worth more as it has a $4500 gas system on it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72182-what-gas-system-to-get/page/2/#findComment-1065993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'll need a bigger fuel pump in tank...

That's why I bought a turbo falc, for economy . Must say though, 98 is bullsh*t at moment so I guess more will look at this. I hate LPG so never for me. Good results I get all that, but still hate the sh*t. Mine is a weekend toy however. I just don't get people buying a high performance car that they need to do high mileage in, so need to put gas on it. It's just dumb IMO. Anyway, clearly there's a market for it.

Diesel and petrol are not... Yet many people sh*tcan LPG... It produces more power on a standard setup with injection...I just don't get it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72182-what-gas-system-to-get/page/2/#findComment-1090487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
