Hi. I drive a 940 Turbo, and it is just getting way to expensive to mantain with the increasing fuel costs (since gasoline is poorly refined here, I need to use premium, or the car will ping and loose power). Lots of people are turning to natural gas to power their cars here (new fuel pumps all over), and my question is if a natural gas (mostly methane) conversion would be viable for a turbo engine (because of the added compression, heat, etc). Has anyone done this conversion? I think it`s called LPG in Europe, not sure if its the same thing.

Thanks!
