Have you seen the price of diesel?!
If a car does MORE MPG then its MORE worthwhile running it on alternate fuels...
If a 106 can do 60mpg...then you run it on veg...I can get it around the 70p mark...that effectively is 120mpg! win!
If a car does 10mpg....half price fuel = 20mpg...still sucks!
Used to be part of a garage fitting LPG systems...did a lot of big v8s, turbos etc obviously...but the smart ones were in cars like the 1.2 16v Honda Jazz, it was doing 68mpg...LPG being 45-50p a litre...you do the math! mega cheap motoring
What I am really curious about is what MPG a mildly tuned xud turbo would do in a featherweight 106.
If mine does 45mpg with lots on boost in my 306, heavy 5dr with eleccy stuff and big sub on the boot...surely be ace in a paper thin 106??
I agree with what you say! no matter how many mpg's you get still worth looking in to makeing it even cheaper to run all tho i pay 96p a liter for veg not 70p were you getting that from or is it waste?
And i thought that to about the xud in the 106 all though i carnt see there being a massive difference maybe 50-55mpg?
