Why is it wrong?
LPG is considerably cheaper than petrol and will remain so for many years as it is cheaper to produce as it is basically a waste byproduct of petrol production and it is legislated to be at least 40p lower on duty than petrol!
Although there is a slight reduction in power and ecconomy is considerably less the running cost is still much lower.
If you need that missing power just switch to petrol.
Tax is cheaper.
If you drive in London you don't pay the congestion charge.
The emmisions are basically steam so there is no problem at MOT, as long as you present the car running on LPG they have to test it on LPG.
So what are the disadvantages?
The initial instalation can be expensive, the average driver takes 2 years to cover the cost.
You loose a bit of boot space due to the tank, if you fit a toroidal tank in place of the spare wheel it goes down to virtually nothing.
