Depends what you're doing with it. If its a daily driver and you do a lot of ks, why not! Money's better in your pocket than out your exhaust.

Not really a performance comparison, but in the week after i got my BA XR6 converted to dual fuel, i did 2100km on gas, and about 400 on petrol.
The 2100 on gas cost me $135 for the gas. To do 2100km on petrol at the retail price at the time would have cost me about $385. Saved $250 bucks in the first week! And same power on lpg, bugger all if any diff in economy, and the only noticable thing is the Lpg placards on the number plates.

So if i saves $250 in 7 days in an xr6, the savings would only go up if it was an 8.
