Prado economy

...

I BOUGHT a Toyota Prado in 1998 and had LPG fitted. Recently I checked the economy and found I was getting 20 litres/100km around town. My system is 10 years old. Should I buy a new one?

OLDER systems generally use up to 30 per cent more LPG than petrol, whereas a new injection system uses a little less LPG, more like 20 per cent, so there would probably be a saving. A new injection system typically costs $4000-$4500. Is a switch justified?
