E70 LPG

[Markost12]

Im considering putting Lpg in my new e70 4.8
Cost of installation is abt 2200 USD, but with the gas prices going up again I may be forced to do it early.
Has anyone done it on e70?
Anyone has some experience or will I be the pioneer.

do you know how far you'll need to drive to make the LPG retrofit break even?

Installation cost: 1900 Eur
Gasoline: 0.95 Eur/L at the moment in Croatia
LPG: 0.44 Eur/L

My consumption is now 16.9L/100kms which will increase 10% with LPG so I expect abt 18.5L/100kms.

Gas 16.9 x 0.95= 16.005 Eur/100kms
LPG 18.5 x 0.44= 8.096 Eur/100kms

It is exactly half the price so if I want to return my 1900 Eur, I need to drive 23500 kilometers which is my 4 month time.

For us Europeans it make a huge difference because of petrol costs. If I was in the States I would neve think of it since it is even cheaper than LPG.

increase 10%? wouldn't it be closer to 60 or even 70%?

Cosumption increases from 5% to 15% but not more.
