OK. I know - buying the 3.8LV6 wasn't the smartest of things considering fuel consumption, but, what to do when the environmentalists are reality unaware.
Short story - there are places you cannot drive a Diesel car to since a few years back here in Europe and I can't have a utility car which I can't utilize - at least I can't afford having an extra car just for those occasions when I need cargo space and not being able to use it when the "daily" is not around. (Wife. )
So, I've been considering LPG (the Brittish calls it that - not sure if you have it or what you call it though). However, I really do not want a big bottle in the trunk.
Seeing one lf the Aux. Long range fuel tanks being flush mounted behind the rear axle, got me thinking - wouldn't it be better to have a set of, say 3-4 small, round bottles mounted there instead, to save trunk space and avoid having gas leak risk inside the cabin? It would be really neat to have the LPG filling behind the very same lid as the normal fuel tank. Also, I really do not want to fiddle with a smaller fuel tank for the "normal" fuel, but, would love the extra milage LPG can offer (with cleaner drive as a bonus )
Anyone seen such a solution with multiple bottles and could point me in a direction towards it?
