would definitelty depend on the tune on petrol i think.. most 4 litre ish motors get around 15litres per 100km from gas from what i have seen.. on petrol is another story though, whereas EFs and things were often getting better than 9litres per 100km on petrol(i had an EBXR6 that used to average 10litres petrol per 100km all the time) so theres cost comparison per 100km.. eg 15 litres LPG at 70cents = $10.50 per 100km or 8 litres petrol at $1.30 also = $10.50 per 100km would depend on emissions rules for turbo? thought LPG was one way of getting over the line? depends on expected power from both with turbo you'd still be spending money on upgrading the petrol system anyway in most cases.

have you asked a driver of a modern car thats been converted? most V6 commos get about 15 also.. Wes's spent some quality time being tuned by the best in the business..... that would be one reason. the combo was also matched correctly would be another reason. i used to get 20litres per 100km out of a 351 clevo, thought that was crap till i had a 202 VH commo converted on a reco motor and got the same......

15 litres per 100 km on all my stock motors past and present.. doesnt change much for city or highway or auto to T5 manual most were 2.77 or 2.92 diff one was 3.23 with T5 still the same my mild crossflow on GRA with 99rwkw was a guzler, used to use about 20litres per 100km.. used to go pretty good though.

looks like it just needs a patch.. not a section

ask your local exhaust joint.. after you cut a neat hole and a patch when i had my gemini with a rusted spare wheel well, i made the patch out of a drum lid and hammered it to shape and made a neat fit. they welded it for $50.. wasnt show car but was plenty good enough.

not same i dont think. when driving the car has inertia and force to overcome.. stationary its only got gravity. no inertia.(thats my theory... the drums have 2 shoes, one bigger and one smaller for that effect i believe.. it shouldnt make a difference with the handbrake unless they are glazed or out of adjustment i think) i'm tempted to ring a brake joint, but thats what Chris should do anyway.

not paying it, it will be the relationship of the brake shoes and condition of the glazed drums or shoes in my opinion.

a 1400kg ute weighs the same if pointing up hill or down. you could ring a brake joint
