That's what i think. Thanks
Florent
I know what you all mean about buying one thats aleady done, but my reasons for getting a non LPG car are as follows:
More choice when buying a non - LPG RR.
Lower mileage cars available
Non LPG cars cheaper in the current climate
I get to choose where the conversion is carried out
I get a warrantly with the conversion so any issues wont cost me £££'s
I intend to keep the car for a while as well.

If you've got the dosh lying around I wouldn't worry about the cost of conversion (its alot cheaper now than it used to be) or how long til you recoupe your £'s. I think its a mental thing, paying to fill up on petrol is driving me mental
getting near the £100 mark to fill up the rangie again, if we have a week of short journeys we're lucky to see 250 miles on that!! I know I'd rather I was filling up for £55, I'd soon forget about the £1500 it cost to convert. Er indoors would only go and spend it on a new washing machine, dining table, curtains and cushions or a cobination of all of em' So might aswell spend it on something usefull

If MPG is a concern, a Range Rover isn't an ideal runabout.
I managed only 90 miles for £30 of LPG @ 59p per litre. If you work that out, its single figures and actually horrifying to think about haha. (Just done a calculation for my own sick sense of humour.....8.02 MPG. Thats what I get for leaving the engine running while the wife goes into Tesco for an hour shopping 2 or 3 times a week).

This is my 3rd P38 a 4.6HSE 1999 with 140,000 on the clock.As with all the others it has the sequential LPG system which is great.On a short run I average 16to 17mpg on gas and on longer runs up to 22mpg.I pay 60p per litre which is about the going rate around here.Having had the luxury of driving this fantastic vehicle over the years I won't even consider driving anything less.It was an eye opener the other day when the switch at the back failed and I had to run on petrol for just a week.To be honest I just could not afford to run it for any length of time on petrol , I would say if it's a good one,go for it and enjoy the luxury and unique driving experience of this £50.000.when new vehicle.

I came back to this post to ask : who has the twin tank setup from RPI or others?
Looks like you have. Any photos of the install.
I'd like to do it but do not want to pay outrageous prices for some brackets
Cheers

theres something wrong there..unless you driving it like its stolen??
mine did that last week..did 2 loads of gas before i decided to sort it...was just the ecu had lost its programme..(no idea why)got the software out,did the calibrate and now its back to normal..ie 17mpg on gas in town driving it like its a hire car (but not stolen)..
you might want to try that unless its that bad on petrol tooooooo.
yes...seems to related to petrol/diesel prices..(well its a by product so i suppose it would )
