S12 coming back as my everyday car :D

At the end of the day, if I can do normal driving for 32p per litre (that's the current price here) and switch to Optimax if I want to go on the track, etc. then it's perfect. I don't need top performance to cruise along the B roads and sit in traffic!

Yes, I heard gas is 110RON as well.

to my knowledge its only a slight difference in power and you will cover the cost of the conversion as lpg is cheaper so the more milage you do the cost of the conversion is covered

I was only thinking that the lower the RON the more likely Detonation or pre-ignition is, you may need to "de-tune" it a bit thus making it less fun when you do want to go for a burn. Taking a small step back can feel like a country mile when you're really used to something.

Seriously though, hat's off to you for doing it, you obviously really enjoy the car and want to find a way to use it all the time. It's not a route I'd consider but it doesn't mean I don't respect what you're doing. I didn't mean to come across like I was having a dig.
