Fuel Hiked Again on Nov 2 — Why Isn't Everyone Converting to Autogas?

Petrol climbed to Rs 424 and diesel to Rs 397 after the November 2 price revision, and most of us just grumble and keep paying. But there's an option barely anyone talks about: converting to autogas (LPG). Conversion shops quote roughly Rs 30,000–32,000 for older carbureted cars and Rs 70,000–120,000 for newer EFI engines, and claim fuel savings in the 30–40% range per litre-equivalent. The case for it: if you drive high mileage — three-wheelers, vans, taxis — the kit can pay for itself in months, and dual-fuel means you can still run on petrol anytime. The case against: insurers can get fussy about claims on a converted engine, resale buyers worry about tank safety and valve wear over time, and the quality of the job depends entirely on which garage does it — there's no inspection regime most people seem to know about. Has anyone here actually converted and run on autogas for a few years? What did it really cost you, and would you do it again, or did it bite you at resale or claim time? ඉන්ධන මිල ගැන කොච්චර කෑ ගැහුවත්, ඇත්තටම LPG convert කරපු කෙනෙක් ඉන්නවද? ඇත්ත experience එකක් කියන්න.
