At the end of the day, we buy 180's for the fun factor. If it was all about fuel, we'd all drive 1.1 Hyundai Getz's!

I have driven an Astra with LPG at work and there is no noticeable performance difference between the two fuels and that's at full tilt as required.

I also read on this forum of an LPG owner mentioning that they noticed little difference in performance of the 180.

pb25, I think you miss the point of the conversion. It's like saying there is no point in a high performance PC when you spend 20% of the time playing games that push the system and 80% searching the web, using eBay, writing on forums, watching movies etc, etc.

I could give many other examples but the bottom line is, the 180 is a car. It will be driven within the laws of the road and occasionally given a good thrashing. Being able to change fuels to suit the desired requirement is a bonus in my mind, not a sacrifice or a mistake. If you disagree, that's fine, don't get one yourself but it's not nice to say that someone is 'wrong' to convert a 180 to LPG.
