Ive got a 97 p38 running on an lpg single point conversion

I'm getting between10 & 20 mpg in town & on motorway repectivly on the gas?

is this good or bad? can it be improved?

also does any one know what the score is with the new car tax costs for this? does it need testing or do they ignore the gas & sting you for full whack because of the large petrol engine?

Hi There.
Thats about right, new air filter, leads and plugs always help. Your car tax won't change because your car didnt go into the new bands in 2001 (ish). It might go up 10 - 20 pounds per year if it goes up at all.

Cheers, Nick.

This link might help you with the tax banding for your vehicle:

The cost of vehicle tax for cars, motorcycles, light goods vehicles and trade licences : Directgov - Motoring

Just check your tax class on your V5 and then check the above DVLA page for the current fee.... Sadly they don't make any allowances for the reduced emssions of a Autogas-converted vehicle

I imagine your vehicle is classed "PLG" (over 1549cc), in which case 12 months tax will be £180
