You'll read that it's once a month - LPG mechanics and fitters will tell you weekly.



Going back to your original post in 2016, I didn't find any difference between the old additive package and new - to be frank, I didn't even notice it had changed. The odd thing about the old additive package was it made both my current and last car run roughly for a quarter of a tank, so much so that I swore never to use it again on the AU Ghia (it was that bad) then after the quarter tank had gone through it was great petrol!


Yeah, the FG XR6 is some time ago but I hated the fact that it wasn’t a ‘dry’ start but a wet petrol one instead.
Our 2019 Vitara 1.4t doesn’t have stop/start and I’m beginning to wonder if the WLTP programme reduces the emphasis on idling and thus the extra ss complex isn’t worth it.
At 74 I’m determined that my last car will be probably a Model 3, Kona Electric/eNiro or VW id19.
