The best is when people who do very low mileages go and convert their old cars just for the warm fuzzy feeling of getting 60 mpg (yeh right)...
With most average cars, it takes around 15-20K miles to recoup the initial investment, only after this do you really start saving... so someone doing 5K miles will take 3-4 years... by this time fuel costs may have risen, the government may decide to change the duty on LPG or your car may have collapsed and died...
And then it comes to resale value, many cars are actually worth less with these systems on, especially prestige cars like Mercedes.
Its a great alternative but only for high mileage users who will get their investment back in a few months.
