Low range chews the juice, so im lovin being on gas, havent had any pobs on steep angles or decents. Auto with 33's can run away alittle but I do heaps of towing and boat ramps etc so it makes life easy. As an occaisional off roader im pretty happy with the combination, did i mention the price of fuel??????

ok here is the deal with Gas

While it is a bit less powerfull then Petrol in terms of speed and take off, LPG is a better fuel off road, especally compared to carby models.

If you get your patrol on too much of an angle, you can starve the carby of fuel as the needle and seat can be tricked into thinking there is too much fuel in there and lock it off, resulting in a stall. LPG is under presure and thus it doesn't matter what angle the car is on, it will puch the gas out no matter what, as long as the engine is running to suck the gas into the chamber, you could have it upside down and it would still run, though its not recommended to do that
