Kenny ... the $3200 price is about right for the FULL install.
And this is sequential vapour injection which is much better than the carby style systems.

Then when Liquid Injection is approved and available ... then it will be even better.
Initial testing of Liquid Injection have brought back result of increased power and better economy than petrol .... in a stock standard vehicle.

http://www.gas-injection.com/
More information in here on Liquid Phase Injection ... Bill Campbell has run out of funds to get this off the ground though ... which is unfortunate though.

ADDED: This system can't be used on EGAS models (that do not have injector ports in the head already) ... as it need to use the injectors for the LPG to be injected in.

UNLESS ... you change the head on the vehicle to a petrol version ... and get a fuel rail as well ... and most likely different ECU to run it all as well.

Makes Dual Fuel setups more reliable though ... and is incentive to get the system installed.

Actually, they quoted me $1900 kit price, $462 installation.

$3200 is what I'd say it would cost for everything to be installed, including tank and gas lines.

That's what I was meaning ... the $3200 means getting tank/lines/converter/ECU/filler/balance lines/mixer ring ... you name it ... inc. labour as well.

Where in Adelaide did you find 47c? Or is that with a discount?

I paid 52.9 last night at BP Salisbury.

I've definitely seen under 49cpl around too. Grange Road, Marion Road. The whole thing is LPG is coming down petrol is going up. Almost the right price ratio to make a big difference in savings, i.e, gas is about a third the price of petrol.

My dads car is on gas, around town it isn't really any cheaper than petrol, we pay 79c a litre up here, and around town it doesn't have great economy.
