LPG vs Diesel
Hi, further to my question below regarding cars, I think I am going down the Vauxhall Omega line.
Questions is, should I look at a 2.2 Diesel or possibly a petrol but converting it to LPG. I only have �5000 to spend so I will be looking for a diesel that costs that amount or a Petrol costing up to �3500. and then converting it.
Anyone converted LPG and regretted it?

LPG is struggling to catch on in most garages - it's true the number of stockists is increasing, but very slowly.
Can you risk a trip to a town you don't know, while running low on fuel? Will you find an LPG garage when you get there?
Finding an LPG specialist to service it near your home could also be difficult.
If you bought a diesel, you would get good economy and no problems buying fuel for it - everyone can service it as well.
