Hi,

I was hoping some backroomers might be able to help me, I am going on a trip up to scotland in the evening of the sunday the 29th August from the south of england and my car only has a 200 mile range while on LPG so i was hoping some people might be able to direct me to good garages motorway or local to route that are roughly 200 miels from each other and will be open on a sunday evening/night/monday morning.

BP.com

UK LPG sites are available within 100 miles of a post code

3/4 searches should give you a list to cover the ehole journey.

I have decided to stop at BP services at stone J14/15 M6, Gretna J3 M74 and The one on the junction of the A9 and A912 in perth. didn't mind who i used but BP's are all in th right places.

Used google street view to make sure they had LPG pumps, wish the prices where the current one's 53.9p lol.

As a matter of interest what are the economics of running a LS400 on gas they are certainly a beautiful car to own.
