How effective are LPG conversions on Range Rovers?
I'm thinking of buying 1998 Range Rover 4.0L Dual Fuel. What questions should I ask and what things should I look out for? Are there any obvious problems or good points? What might be an alternative vehicle?
How effective is the gas conversion on these and what sort of mpg equivalent should I get?

Lots of engine problems. Will do about 15mpg so work that out v/s the cost of LPG, which is rising faster than diesel, or petrol.
I think it's a big risk. On old LPG conversions, exhaust valves tend to go first.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
