LOL, some ppl just like gas.. sure it'd take longer to regain the cost of install, but if you can do it yourself.. not so costly.
maybe they want "super-economy" rather than just good?

it will probably reduce performance with a straight swap, but with an altered ignition curve to suit gas, and a little more compression, you should still have 'enough' performance.
get a decent gas system (ie pressure referenced mixer) and a closed loop thingy, and economy should be fantastic..
seeing petrol ay 118.9c/L again today makes gas look a little better.... or at least EFI.. or even a smaller cam

You don't necessarily have to lose a lot of performance etc. either - PM me if you're interested.

It would be a long time before you actually recover the installtion cost, i would just trade the car in for a motor bike.
