Hi mylotters! All over the world, but especially in Italy, fuel or diesel prices are very high. One liter of them arrives to cost 1.8€ (= 2.28$!!!). That's the reason why my parents are planning to change the actual car we have, a FIAT Punto Sporting (wonderful car but requires a lot of fuel), also because it reaches 100,000 kilometers, with another bi-fuel car fuel-lpg. I'd like to know if someone has or know people that have bought an lpg car and what they think about. I especially want to know which is, in your opinion, the best lpg car at the moment. I'm talking about a car for European zone and of the range of little-medium car with maximum lenght of 4 meters. My parents are directed towards a FIAT Punto Natural Power or a Hyundai i20 always with LPG plant. What do you think about? Every comment and suggestion is well-accepted!

Yes, conversion is possible. I don't want to do it for some reasons. First it costs in any case 2000€ (=2550$) for having the same car. My parents' car has 8 years and it starts to have some problems and we must change some parts of the engine. Second I read that to install an LPG plant cause a loss of power of the engine and because it's already old my parents doesn't want because of the age of the car's engine. I thank you anyway for your comment!
