You'll just have to slum it and use the ferry :wink: :lol:
Actually, I prefer the ferry but the Tunnel is a very fast, easy, way to cross the Channel.
How available is LPG? Obviously, I don't look for it, but I can't say I've ever seen it for sale!? :-k

I used to have a LPG company car, I bought from WHSmiths a monthly mag, something along the lines of LPG Car and it gave a section in the back with ALL the filling stations in it sorted by area.
It wasn't a thrilling read, so I only bought one, but it proved to be an indispensable bible for the glove box.

So, what are the chances that any petrol station will have LPG? Are we talking 90% country coverage? 20%?
I assume that you can just run on diesel (petrol) if the LPG runs out?

In MK every other one sells LPG, its more common than you think.

LPG on a diesel is used in addition to the diesel fuel, as opposed to instead of.
It's added at up to 10% fuel volume.
So a maximum of 10% of the fuel you burn is cheaper LPG and the kit costs 350. Bearing in mind it will need to be checked and signed off by someone certified (otherwise your insurance people will be less than impressed), I really can't see the point.
Having said that, it can be used as the diesel equivelent of nitrous to provide an alrming boost in performance when required. Bearing in mind the type of engine it's going to be run it, again, I really can't see the point.
My advice - save your pennies.
Just my tuppence.
cheers
