Yes, manual. 30 miles daily commute - country driving to and from work.
I had a stainless steel exhaust fitted last month and the car is running smoothly and notice 3-4 mpg improvement. I reckon I'm getting 34-35 which I'm very happy with.
It would cost alot more than a few mpg difference running a V8 - you have more insurance, more tax (if post 2001), more expensive parts and they'll probably go wrong more as well.nas80 said:I would really be hating my Honda if I had to pay 1.30 or whatever it costs and only get 25-27mpg - may as well run a v8.
Are you sure, that would be around 450 miles to a tank based on filling up with 60L (65L tank).Plasma said:What kind of driving is this and I ***ume manual?

:lol: I am tempted to take mine on a track to see what it can do but being an auto I would probably get even less than that!Osiris said:At the other end of the spectrum, I took it on a track day last year and guzzled 75% of the tank in 66 miles :lol:
Broadly speaking that's the same figures as I get, I've got the 2.0 thoughnas80 said:I get 230 miles from 28 pounds worth of LPG (40 litres) I have a 2.4 manual - I don't drive with a mind to be economical. I have done 20k since the the LPG conversion so I think I have recouped the 1k It cost me. It would have cost a grand extra to buy a diesel version of my accord exec anyway.
It was a great day and actually put me onto this forum in the first place, not for the economically minded in any way but I would recommend it to anyone. I had probably one of the slowest cars there in terms of pure power but it fun.-Rich- said::lol: I am tempted to take mine on a track to see what it can do but being an auto I would probably get even less than that!
I do 10k a year and now I have had my Honda for 1.5 years I am saving cash and besides when I go to sell my Honda itll be worth more for the lpg conversion so you can factor that in as well as "getting your money back"-Rich- said:You guys have got me thinking now! :lol: Anyone got a thread on their LPG installation or are there any others, I can't find much?
If LPG would save me approx £40 a tank then it should pay for itself in around 3 years, depending on the cost of installing. I'm planning on keeping this car a good few years so I might as well look into it.
Well, technically, this is now a petrol vs LPG argument :lol: . But how's about this smiley for you Jon?Jon_G said:Oh dear, the K24 owners are fighting amongst themselves. There is no emoticon that expresses how I feel.

i think you know nothing about lpg.toffee_pie said:I think that is a load of bs
I would not buy a car with lpg, the car would have been seriously tampered with. Things will have been done to it that i would have funk all idea about, and if things play up you are in trouble.
I seriously even doubt cars with lpg sell for any more than those without it tbh.
one thing i agree is diesel cars, i be walking along the footpath and you can hear diesel cars a mile away, and they are all pretty new regs also.
