With the price of ulp as it is, I am looking at getting a vehicle that will get me more economy
Should I go for a non-turbo diesel gq 4.2 (cant afford a turbo) or get a petrol with duel fuel?
What sort of econmoy do people get round town on lpg?
thanxs

Greggo,
I've owned a Bronco that I put on Gas and have since had two diesel Cruisers so I have tried both. Took the Bronco to
Cairns and back from
Melbourne towing a caravan and while it towed really
well, getting gas everywhere was a problem. I never actually had problems with the Gas and it was much cheaper to run (Had to be with the fuel consumption of the Bronco )
Since getting a diesel Cruiser I know I would never go back to LPG. You can't carry LPG in jerry cans to top up in remote areas or get gas cyclinders that will give a reasonable range per fill so gas really limits your range in the outback and you'll be on petrol in between gas fills. For me diesel is simple, reliable and the motors are long lasting if serviced properly.

Thanks people
appreciate the
views... it would appear that even though diesel costs more at pump (always be like this?) you get better mileage
One point though the cost of
services are more frequent which helps equal the cost I suppose.
