LPG or chipped

ok im new here and to P38s im picking mine up on saturday and im torn between lpg or a chip and a remap any comments would be great

??

would it be better to get it chipped and remapped for economy or have lpg fitted would like to hear views from both sides

If your looking for economy you shunta bort a r/r but lpg is cheaper... good luck

Well i had my 4.6 remapped for performance and converted to gas with the whole lot synched runs well but only about 14 to the gallon

14MPG , not too bad... like they say cant moan abouty mpg with a R.R TBH what do you actually want from it... and what good is all that performance with a veh shaped like a brick weighing more that a truck ? RR are for comfort enjoy, if you want speed.. get a Scooby

You should have got a Prius instead.

wots wrong with a Shelby Aero EV

There is plenty you can do to improve economy, I have put Magnecor blue plug leads on and use platinum plugs, K&N filter, Janspeed cat back stainless zorst, and a pair of Tornado chips. I average around 20 using high octane fuel on my 4.6 hse. Next job is ported and gas flowed heads, ported inlet manifold with bigger trumpets. The engine has done 150K and is sweet.

how much did that little lot set you back?

Quite a few quids, been doing bits over the last year or so, a continous improvement programme!

I'm getting 17-18 MPG out of my 4.4, I wasn't even expecting that much so I'm happy.

As I said I get average of 14 mpg and gas is only 58p a litre so no complaints and with the remapping to give more mid range grunt she drives well and fairly skips along

I drive a p38 4.0 ltr with LPG conversion, returning the equivilant of 27mpg. Got to say that without the LPG I would not be driving a RR at all. Coincidentally, I will be fitting a hydrogen generator in the very near future and hope to further improve the burn and reduce the petrol consumption some more.
