corsa 1.3 came from the factory on gas. but endgine dosnt last as long and my boot is filled with amps

[MatsHolden]

That's the only thing with gas; detremental to the engine in the long term.

[pred8r]

Yes, and long term is what? 200k kms, by then its prolly due for work anyway.
The valves have more than likely hammered into the head anyway (which is what LPG does to non-hardened seats)

More to the point would you still have the car?

Hmm, 53cents per Km back on tax, claim the fuel, claim the conversion (or depreciate it) put that refund towards something special (VXR?)

[rjastra]

helllo... taxis!! they all run LPG and last for 400,000km+

What cars have unhardened valve seats nowadays? Thats ancient history

[cyclonic]

Or just tell your MP to stop ripping us in the arse on fuel taxes! 70% of the price of fuel is government taxes.

[MatsHolden]

Yeh bloody tax on a tax with petrol. The Governments excise and then GST on top of that.

A couple of things:

LPG does shorten the life of an engine if it is not specifically designed for it - like Fords dedicated gas engine.

Taxi's last 400K's + because they are always running and oil is always available at the top of the engine. Most engine wear happens when the engine is cold and more specifically when there is no oil in all the right places.
