This week, Jack and Ethan take out the 2JZ-powered Lexus GS300 to put its LPG conversion to the test. We find out how much it really costs to run your car on LPG, and if it really is worth it.

Just FYI, you can LPG convert turbo cars with great success. Mine is 2.0l turbo producing 300ps on LPG. Also passes MOT emissions test easily even without a catalytic converter
I first successfully navigated the magic roundabout in the mid 1970s, in an Audi 100, aged around 6 or 7, sat on my Grandads lap 😂. Traffic was definitely lighter!
2:00 or drive to Poland and fit it for 800 quid lol also that lpg conversion is very old school and not very effiecient
CNG better LPG mediocre
Love the bloopers lol
I have been running a Suzuki Celerio on LPG for 4yrs/35k miles, the car got around 57mpg for the few fill ups before I converted, I have averaged 45.3mpg across petrol & LPG, until gas prices went up I paid about 54p/litre, but that's gone up to around 80p (west of Scotland). The total cost of running the car is now under 25p per mile – and that's including the purchase and conversion price (£5400) and does not account for the current value of the car (probably at least £4k). At current prices I spend about 7-8p per mile on LPG plus 0.5-1.5p per mile for petrol (I am not sure why in the video they had a petrol spend on the way home – the car was already hot so LPG would have been on immediately, this is why petrol varies in price, lots of short trips = more petrol use, as does winter when it takes longer to switch to LPG).
Compared with electric, at current prices the fuel price is similar to electricity at 4miles/kwh, I know there are tariffs with cheaper times, but when you consider the total cost, the outlay of an EV 4 yrs ago would have been significantly (3-4x) higher – and you have a far more limited range (we have taken this to see relatives 400+ miles away, not possible in a small EV available 4 yrs ago).
I had a Saab 9-3 Aero 2.0T in 2018 that was LPG converted. When I found a local Calor gas supplier that sold LPG for £0.42/ltr I was laughing. Unfortunately, a few months later that pump closed and the other pumps in the area were less reliable and around 25-35p more expensive. When I moved there were only 2 pumps within a 30-mile radius of me, the pumps were regularly out of order or were out of gas so it became quite frustrating to run on LPG. Such a shame it wasn't given more support in the UK. Met lots of fellow LPG enthusiasts at the pumps, most of them in v8 Range Rovers.
Do an LNG conversion, because it's cheaper. Also useing GTL or other synthetic petrol, is better for the environment. Love the LPG promo!
The last truck my old man owned that was propain and gas was a 95 f250 460 bb
i'd never want it, seems way too dangerous over gas. much more explosivee. gas will burn of course but not easily explode, LP is like a bomb in the back of your car if that catches fire…BOOM
Top Job Chaps 🤘

Alex is a traitor for leaving the channel
Finally you guys are covering L.P.G.
Garbage content
I have an E46 touring 330i on LPG. Absolutely love it!
Great content, Ive been running LPG cars for years and although the price has increased (used to be£0.45/l) it hasnt gone up by anywhere near as much as regular fuels and seems more stable. It means I can run my 300bhp 4.4 V8 for alot less than its 180bhp diesel equivalent. I have never understood why more people dont use it and its going to be a massive shame to see it dissapear, especially in favor of something that 90% of people cant afford! I am currently weighing up the benefits of installing a home LPG tank for my cars.
I have always swapped my car to lpg, I currently have LPG fitted to me 2l Clio and I can say that I save on average 1.5k-2k a year on fuel as I do a lot of mileage
Shut up freemason.
how about
NO FUEL.
channel dead without Alex..
Doesnt lpg ruin valvesdue to high temps and no lubrication?
Common in Australia in mainly the ford Falcons and some Commodores also a lot are dual fuel having both petrol and LPG, you find the odd car from a different manufacturer with dual fuel cause they got LPG installed later.
i have the same engine as u but in a is300 and it consumes as much lpg as petrol and its 2x cheaper then petrol i do about 15l/100km
Running a Freelander 2, 3.2ltr on gas. Thankfully the gas station is just down the road. But can't understand why it didn't catch on. Better for the environment that a stupid electric car
I've been running my 2001 Range Rover P38 4.6 on LPG for a good while now and it's cracking! Far more reasonable than running it on petrol as it's about 15mpg on a good day so the only way to run it economically is lpg! The cheap stations are harder to find but we managed a good 800 mile trip to Edinburgh and back on lpg alone, that's 4 fill ups on the P38's 72L lpg tank, still half the price of doing the same trip on petrol though!
Amazing job guys I was just thinking about doing a LPG conversion on my car, very helpful and now I know that once I do about 20-25k miles my conversion will pay off, thanks and good luck
Now come to Hemel Hempstead and do a proper magic roundabout. 2 lanes in each direction!
LPG is really bad for engine
Look how many engine failure from lpg compared to petrol
In my country lpg related engine failure happens 40% more than petrol car or even hybrid
The demand for lpg plundered
So our government stop subsidies lpg and many petrol station stop supplying lpg
Shaky engine, constant misfire, head gasket failure, piston slap, scratched cylinder wall , problems that usually happens on neglected petrol engine did happen on well maintained lpg converted engine when then went over 150k km or in about 5years
Lpg is obviously miles better than toy car charging stations
loving this content Jack and Ethan 👏🏼👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿👏🏾
I was running LPG 20 years ago in the UK, I had a Honda Prelude converted, it was a mental machine, but cheap to run as a smaller diesel car. Later I ran an Xtrail, also cheap to run. However both of them had minor niggles with the engine management lights etc. which just made you loose confidence in the car, so I just switched to diesel cars instead. No regrets!
electric charge points cost more than petrol now , so no
Ffs they was right near me they could've come seen me😥
Coming from a country with right side traffic I understood absolutely nothing from that roundabout of roundabouts
I guess Alex was most of the followers main one but mine is jack then Ethan and Alex
LPG costs £1 a litre, its not that cheap…
Shut up freemason
Imagine if we brought back LPG as alternative fuel
After your video guys all ppl in uk switch to lpg so gov can put higher duty on gas .
in north africa we use lpg everywhere since car prices got mental and public transport is a disaster. and It's around the same price for the installing, however for the MOT it's bloody expensive and annoying to do, mostly because you got licensed garages that make the installing cost sky rocket but it's secure, and you got random unlicensed garages that instal it cheaper but it's a time bomb.
italy is all lpg , poland is all lpg
