Seems like a lot of effort to gain a small amount of savings.You're already driving a very economic car I wouldn't complicate it further by adding gas.I'd only save about a grand a year by changing over to LPG.

Maybe start saving for a new Nissan leaf.I might just skip another Prius after my heap is 15. Some of those ev grants are very generous.And the ranges are going up too.If I was to buy one tomorrow the fuel savings would probably pay for the car.

LPG never caught on here. I guess there's a reason for that.

Why would you bother? You've already bought the most efficient petrol driven car out there.You're already winning. Next step is to go fully electric.Even though I dislike the costs of battery replacements on Evs.

My total fuel bill 3 years ago was only 1700.Still fuk all.Hardly worth all the hassle of a conversion.If petrol goes over 3 euro a liter it might be an option.Maybe start cutting yer own hair if you wanna save money.

Use cruise control where possible and watch fuel consumption drop.
LPG seems a bit extravagant when it eats up luggage space etc.
