  Why are hybrid cars petrol and electric? Would it not make it more economical on fuel to have diesel/electric hybrids?
• sluggish Range Rover 31 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  Other advise I had was a complete top end rebuid with a new camshaft as camshafts only last 100,000 miles As I thought I was being had I put the problem on this page. I received 3 replies all of which suggested the LPG system wanted tuning. So I screwed the LPG regulator a turn and also turned the distributer a tad. Hey Presto quite a difference , at least I am now satisfied with its performance. and saved at least 500 quid!!!!!!!
• EU reviewing fuel taxes 21 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  "It would at best be a mid-term change," he said. In the next few years, demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a vehicle fuel could grow, because of its green credentials, he said. Some European governments, including Germany, subsidise LPG prices at the pump and this has boosted consumption. "LPG might be a good bridging fuel to get to decarbonisation in transport," he said.

• Vauxhall Corsa - Simple Question, Quick Answer 3 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  I got the car home and I am currently reading the instruction manual. However, the fuel type for the new car says Petrol/LPG. I know that LPG stands for Liquified Petroleum Gas but I am not sure what this is? When I go to the garage to fill up, am I putting in the usual Unleaded Petrol? Am I putting in something with a little more kick (more eco-friendly)?

• Toyota Prius 21 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  I was wondering why Toyota didn't make the Prius a diesel/electric hybrid instead of petrol. For an eco-car I would have thought it've made more sense. Or maybe even an lpg/electric hybrid ?

• Advice on which car to buy. 27 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I have my eye on a few cars - BMW 330D, Jaguar X-Type 2.0D, Vauxhall Vectra SRi CDTi 150, and a few others. I need a diesel, as I do the miles. Going off what I currently get on LPG and with the price of LPG, I need around 41MPG average from my next car. So a diesel is the right option. Styling is something I do take into consideration. I don't want a bottom of the range (LX, Life, etc.) in my car - vain I know.

• Choosing new car due to coming clean air zone 18 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  My commute to my place of work is 150 miles round trip so for a long time I've had diesel cars, however I was thinking of possibly getting an old 05/06 car and getting it converted to LPG. The alternative is buying another diesel on a 2015 plate. I'm just wondering if people have an experience with LPG and opinions what people would do if in my situation regards
• Audi A8 (1994 - 2003) - 97 4.2 S8 refuses to start 7 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  On my way home last night it ran beautifully, smooth, silent, fast, as best as it ever has which usually means there is an imminent issue with it. Come out this morning and nothing. It has an LPG conversion on it so it stopped on LPG last night. I have tried to VAGCom it but I cannot establish communication with the ECU (not good). I thought it may be the fuel relay but that it is not where it is supposed to be according to the manual which is in the fuse compartment in the RH footwell, there are no relays at all in that compartment.
