LPG vs diesel for high kays on the highway
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 9:09 am
Hi everyone,
I have a 91 Mav wagon that at the moment runs straight petrol, (was a choice I made when I only drove it on weekends in the bush).
I now have a new job and have moved from Melbourne to Corryong (450km NE of Melbourne). I am trying to decide what to do with the car, Its set up pretty well with lockers and long range tanks, winch and all of the other bits and pieces ( I like the car a lot still). The problem I have is driving to and from Melbourne, Would I be better putting it on gas (a second hand kit from a wreckers costs about $500 to $600 plus fitting) and what sort of fuel efficiency would I get out of it , it has electronic ignition and 2 1/2 exhaust with extractors already. or should I bite the bullet, sell it and buy a diesel, I want to spend as little as possible on the change over so I figure my car is only worth about $9000 if that. Diesel is around $1.25 a litre here at the moment.
What do people suggest.
