erm how about get the engine setup properly and drive to get good mpg rather than digital throttle lol

i assume its for your gay V6..... yes you can LPG it but you need to get it all certified etc for insurance purposes.

you can get a grant from the government to help pay for the conversion (which may indicate how much it costs - I have no idea).

Insurance companies sometimes add additional loadings to LPG fitted cars because if they go wrong or need replacing as a result of an accident its a specialist job and costs more to repair...

I company I work for charge 10% load!

ouch!

you need the port injectors ( single port LPG is a load of toss as you lose power thus youd be thrashing the **** off it to get the speed back so lose the economy), controller etc. the rest of it goes in the boot.

how about a magical trip to google you lazy norven monkey :p
