how do these cars go on lpg? thinking cause of the fuel cost would it be a wise mod? or just suck it up and deal with the fuel cost will it
/ performance decresse by much?
Suck it up.
I wouldnt use anything else other than BP ultimate petrol. LPG would be a bad, bad move. _________________

lol really i wouldn't even put it in my nissan pulsar that i got i can tell the diffrence and it has no mods just idles shit! but when i put normal fuel in it is fine.
Mate was going down this path myself, It can be done and done well in most cases with increased power however a system like this would cost around 6k, and then you have just limited yourself for upgrades.
I chose not to go this path and stick with petrol as modding and working on the car has become quite fun. _________________

wasnt someone talking about using e90 when it comes available? iirc, it'll use more fuel, but give more power, and should be cheaper to run.
as for LPG, i wouldnt advise it, though i have seen good results on big block v8's with a pair of snails bolted onto them lol
E85 you mean, but then factor in the cost of having to run bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump possibly, and really and some form of interceptor to add more timing (due to slower burn (e85 is 85% alky)) and it gets a bit more costly too.
liquid lpg is definately an option, but as stated, its a costly setup at the moment.
They are big heavy cars with a 3L twin turbo engine that comes on boost at the drop of a hat. If fuel consumption is worrying you greatly, maybe look at switching the turbo setup away from sequential so the thing doesnt come on boost so easily and monitor fuel consumption.
