Re: Isn't LPG brilliant?

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxx>]

I heard that environmentalists are trying to encourage the 
government to raise duty on LPG over the comming few years.

It's fairly obvious that as people change to LPG the government will 
loose revenue from the sale of petrol & diesel and need to recoup it 
by raising LPG prices.

But at least you can feel a bit more environmentally friendly

I think Essex Star Gas Ltd do LPG conversions, there is even a kit 
on eBay for the DIY LPG enthusiasts amoungst us, anything like gas I 
would leave to the profesionals.
