Gas and petrol vs diesel

[Agronaught]

Unless you go the turbo td42 the petrols will usually have the power edge over the diesels. Of course there are always exceptions and I'm sure they will be pointed out here

Depending on the petrol, it can be a *lot* more power... At the cost of a lot more fuel.

However there is a lot more to 4wd than power. I wish my tb48 has the compression of the diesels for downhills and I'll have to look at reduction gears too get what I want out of my car.

If you do the km LPG can be good. If you don't it's is (IMHO) a false economy. When you take into account the coast of the LPG install and additional service costs it takes a lot of km to make LPG worthwhile. Not to mention it can cause early failure in the engine if it's not maintained correctly.

LPG tanks are also smaller, and you burn more LPG than petrol as it doesn't have the same amount of energy per litre.

A 115L tank only takes 90L of LPG, which is only good for 300km in the city which sucks. I get 370km to 90l of LPG on the highway which isn't great.

If you get LPG you will want a larger sub tank (70L) to improve the range and cater for those situations where lpg isn't available.

It's a mixed bag and depends on what you want to do with the car. Personally im looking to ditch the LPG and put a fuel tank back in there.
