  • LPG conversions -- resale values 3 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    I was having a look at a couple of LPG conversion websites, and was wondering about the resale values against a diesel car.

A similarly-powered diesel car may well be the thick end of five grand at the same age due to the superior MPG, but with an LPG conversion costing between £1500-2000 it seems to me that the petrol option would be cheaper and more fun as well.
