I got my EL SW converted to straight gas about 18 months ago (just before the bloody rebate came in :-). I sing for a crust, so drive a bit. It works out about 1/2 - 2/3 the price for travelling on LPG as it is for petrol.
Other advantage is I reckon |

Yep the answer to that problem is easy....Just whack a massive Export tax on it so it's not worth the oil companies selling it overseas and if they do the government can put the money into heath, education or roads.

I can remember back in the late 80's when LPG was about 9 cents a litre, thats when it was a by product of the refining process, now it's a nice earner for the mongrels.
