I'm fairly sure he runs his Coupe on gas. He's a bit of a gas zealot, if he sees this post he won't be far away! PM him if not.

I'd imagine he is just clearing up a sticky mess after seeing the title of the post, then he'll be here

Well anytime i see a JimO post it gets a bit messy

And yes im running it at the moment with mods and need to get the system setup again(a bit like a UNchip after some mods) and it should be fine again but certainly a lot cheaper to run. i tend to get about 22-25mpg ona run though but im not light footed!!

I got mine done for £1890ish but its a few quid more as they now know how much work it is as it was little over a week iirc to get it all done properly.

I will be making the money back from this august due to getting a loan for it but if i hadnt got a loan i would be making the money back by about 2 months ago due to miles covered...

My guess is it would save around £750 a year at my mpg: approx 30-33mpg.

But unless it's a tiny tank I can't fit my paraglider in as well as a tank
