Your gas is 70cents a litre? :S i work at a servo here in adel and when i finished work it was 49.3cents a litre, when the s8000 was $1.52\L seriously mate gas is the way to go unless you wanna spend $100 a time filling up with s8000 jeff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheap fuel, and helps clear emissions issues at the same time, and you should make more power converting to gas.. why is this a bad thing??

Dosn't gas have a higher octane rating than petrol? Therefore you could use more compression/boost/timing and make more power as Morgz said.

depends how complicaqted your ignition system is.i dont actually know how the ignition is actually controlled on a vl but on a car that has the ignition controlled from purely inside the dizzy, all you do is plumb boost to the other side of the diaphram(using a simple convertor)and use a gas research carby in blow through style.most of the info is on the gas research web site.
