    No worries Slick - you're cool. Mate it's your car & your wallet, and I didn't mean to appear to browbeat .. but may have!

    If it's an ok unit then imo a mere 700 bucks for a two year-old motor sounds like very good value

    That's getting your cheap fuel from a different kind of 'pump'

    It's a joke..... Anyway, i live in America, not Australia.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

I read if there is a bad batch of petrol cars won't notice it power wise. But when it's diesel it's a different story. We might not have good enough quality diesel yet.
    I think if a got gas on my car it might die faster . But i am looking at a 2004 reco engine for $700.
    Well if you get LPG, you might not actually be able to go faster, but you can afford to be on 100% throttle for more

    No i like to here about gas since I'm a gas hater from long ago when it was bad, Now i know it's much better now a days and with everyone using it and using it with such success it's growing on me more and more. Espically now you can run gas with barley any power loss at all it's very good to those that don't want to drop power, Like me. My Auntie had lpg on a old ford the power loss was huge but it was a long time ago and things are better now.

    Should get a big sign on the roof "and it's only on GAS"
    About 7-8 years ago i had to fill a van up with LPG, First and last time i attempted it, I screwed the head on nice till it would go anymore, But for some reason it spat out huge amounts of gas on my hand and arm, Couldn't shake the sting i had for hours my arm felt dead.
