Anyone doing a gas convertion yet? With the price differential now available it would be well worth it. I saw LPG today for 33p per litre at Morrisons!! That is way less than half the price of derv.

At the prices around here it is a third of the price. Our pump prices in this part of the country are £0.937 litre  and that is on the best filling station prices for diesel. I saw one yesterday at £0.975.

£2 per litre  surely not. This is shocking.
I saw 97.9p per litre for diesel today at Strensham services on the M5, and I think that is terrible.
I have spent this week driving around in a 1.6 Dual Fuel Astra! The thing is amazingly cheap to run, 28mpg using lpg at 33p per litre  It did 275 miles today, on 15 quids worth of gas.
Not a patch on the D3 though, really missing it. Roll on 1st Sept.

Yeh! but 28mpg on LPG at 33p per litre = @63mpg diesel equivalent. That is cheap motoring.

Ah... but Greenpeace and the Camden Loonies don't give a plop about that !
All they see is MPG and footprint.
Parked next to a German reg A6 Avant (the swish new one) on vacation in Devon and my car was waaay shorter. Just taller is all.
Go figure... they are seen as 'good' people in their 3L petrol A6 Avant and I am seen as a 'bad' person in my more frugal, less polluting and smaller diesel DISCO3 !!

My company had an LPG only policy. We decided a few years ago that all company vehicles would be LPG. I started the ball rolling with a Volvo V70 Bifuel. We then bought a fleet of Dual Fuel Astras, and then another Volvo. We got a J**p converted (nothing to do with me - honest), then I bought a V8 Disco 2.
When the chancellor put the frighteners out last year about LPG not being the fuel of the future, and that he would raise tax, we decided to scrap the policy.
We did it purely on cost grounds, and to be honest the environment did not get discussed at the meetings.
Greenpeace etc. will not rest until we all live in caves and eat berries to survive.

I like berries...
And yeah... GP always seem to argue on the points that make sense to them only.
Personally I am proud to own a British designed & built vehicle rather than some foreign built pile of poo that is more damaging to the environment - such as all those German execs doing 95 on the motorway guzzling fuel and kicking out more C02 than me.
