How do I get best fuel economy from my V8 Efi? |
The way to best economy is re-chipping
the ECU and using an Optimax cam, this can find 10-15% more economy
on a good condition motor (more on a high mileage one). Also the
LPG System is very important if you want best economy, so beware
of inferior systems (we know 'cos we have to replace them). The
OMVL system with Lambda control is, in our opinion, by far the
best (we can send you an info pack if you forward Lisa, your address)
I already run many LPG V8 Rovers (see demonstration vehicles)
and you would expect to save an average of 30% over diesel running
costs, and 50% over petrol, and with further planned government
fuel price rises in the pipeline, the savings are set to increase
even more and the value of diesel powered vehicles will severely
diminish.

Will I really save money by Converting to LPG? |
This is only one of the huge
benefits of dual fuel, you can also add, cleanest ever emissions,
far longer engine life, huge price savings and cheaper engine
servicing. Also, with the way things are turning out you would
probably increase the value of you vehicle at the same time.
