Kia having a go at other methods of propulsion 1600km range

[Big Ears]

Yeah I know it's not an MG but it seems a good step, 'cept try filling up with LPG in the UK, it takes a lot of effort these days, Morrisons wants £1.29 per litre, the average is around 90p per litre, commercial suicide IMHO.

No good where I live. Autogas, when you can get it, is £1.299 per litre.

Performance, maximum speed 154 km/h, acceleration 0-100 km/h in 11.7 seconds;
Good only the declared consumption, 17.2 km/l; Measured consumption, 17.6 km/l.,
Ideal for those who travel a lot.

I'd buy one, not interested in performance, just A to B these days, but then it'd have the Nanny software on it.

I was saying to the Boss on Thursday if I won the lotto there is a poor choice of what to buy in 2024 cars regardless of propulsion method, I'd happily go full LPG though she said.

Jings that must put on a fine pyrotechnic display in the event of a fire
I’ll stick to my all electric five. Four hundred miles in a 14 hour day’s sightseeing with two top ups during meals was perfect for range. I don’t want to carry tanks of fuel around as well as the battery thanks.

Depending on which Aust state and how far from a major city, but LPG varies from 85c/ltr to $1.35 .... but not near as much available now since Little Johnny Howard decided he would add the excise tax to it incremental stages, 6 mths before he got the boot out of office, but no one bothered to go back and fix it ..... yeah I know, reverse a tax revenue, it's like believing in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and "I'm from the govt, I'm here to help you"

Before that nonsense started, it was around 50c/ltr ..... At least it doesn't suffer the wild petrol and diesel price fluctuations, some places up to 50c/ltr over night

They haven't taxed solar yet, well as long as you don't try to sell it back to the grid, then you pay 10% GST .... and buy it back at a 700% price increase just after the sun goes down .... and pay another 10% GST on that

At least it's not like paying $2ltr for AdBlue, Google says

AdBlue is a clear, non-flammable liquid made of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water.

Talk about taking the p*ss

Birmingham autogas (strangely enough in Birmingham, opposite star city). Currently £0.75/L and 3p off if you buy a tag, which allows 24hr access, and top up more than £100 a go.

Shame naff all is factory made for it or even really suitable for a conversion in the uk.
