“When I converted my Suzuki Jimny, I kept a detailed spreadsheet of what it cost every time I filled up, and what it lpg_suzuki_jimnywould have cost on petrol, to see how quickly the difference broke even with what I’d paid for the conversion,” explains Owen. “After four months I’d broken even!”
Owen’s Chevrolet Matiz, which he purchased pre-converted, saved him money from the outset. “I bought it with 55,000 miles on the clock and took it up to about 90,000,” he recalls. “Returning 65mpg at LPG prices meant the running costs really were negligible and I didn’t have a single problem running on gas. It’s probably the best car I’ve ever had – I only got rid of it because it wasn’t suitable for the type of mileage I was then doing.”
