can your car run on hydrogen peroxide? or some other fuel which is better than petrol?

If you get a conversion you could run the car on LPG, hydrogen, electricity, ethanol etc

But it's all about money, for the sake of it you may aswell just buy a car that already runs on it. There are a few with LPG gas conversion though iirc :)

ive seen a few cars with LPG conversions done, works out cheaper in the long run, but would take you quite some time to get your money back from the cost of conversion, but really depends how much you drive and how much petrol you use? infact my mate used to mix cooking oil with diseal, used to pick up cases of the stuff cheap from local shop haha!

ooh one more thing, just dont have the LPG tanks mounted under your car if its been lowerd on its arse :y:

I've priced an LPG conversion for a saxo for around £1050 for all the parts needed, could be total cost if you could fit it all yourself ;)

Its only new injectors and pipework that would cause problems, so has long as you tighten everything there should be no problems ;)
