I live in a village in suffolk and though we don't have the kind of weather alot of you Northern European chappies do this is the UK we are talking about , so it only takes a mild frost to bring everything to a halt
.
Anyway, my village is at the top of a hill so lots of rain or a mild amount of snow tends to completely cut off our two small narrow roads that give access to the outside world.
A few years back i purchased a Nissan X-Trail (the 2.5 petrol version) , had a snorkel fitted and bought a spare set of wheels on which i put winter tyres. This little semi-offroader has done me proud and has pulled me through situations that have seen certain larger off roaders stuck. With the current price of fuel it has been getting bloody expensive to keep it on the road so i bit the bullet 3 months ago and paid just under 1k Brit cash for a dual fuel LPG conversion. Ive been keeping tabs on my milage and fuel costs and can now say with a great deal of satisfaction that ... in the last quarter I have saved myself btwn £700 - £750 in fuel. My monthly spending on Go Go juice has halved and ive still got 3/4 of the tank of petrol that i filled up in Cornwall with back in early May...
I am now a fully fledged LPG anorak
