I used to fita lot of LPG conversions and on that model and most others the economy was approx 10% less than petrol but then the cost of LPG offset it. As far as distance goes it depends entirely on the tank size fitted! Simply take 10% off the tank size and you will be close compared to petrol. Go find the nearest taxi driver with one to get the real figure.

With a rockgas card you pay the same price for lpg wherever you fill up as long as it is one of their outlets, and they bill you fortnightly or monthly. (Caltex, Challenge and Mobil)

L.P.G tank will be due for recertification every ten years ,so probably getting due soon.a bit of cost involved in removing ,refitting tank etc probably one reason why a few of these cars getting moved on.

Cost around $500 for tank to be certified for 10 years, that works out at $50 a year,I save more than that every week running on LPG as opposed to petrol.
