lpg conversion

Ive had an lpg conversion on my 1.0 litre yaris and WOW 450 miles from a £25 fill up.I expect my co2 emissions have dipped below 100 g/km now so next time I tax my car I might have a go at claiming it back through the small claims court armed with the necessary exhaust gas information! ps I pay 58p per litre of gas.

Would love to see pictures of this car to see the lpg setup.
Where was the tank installed?
Can you still run both gas (petrol) and lpg?
Was there any problems getting converted?

Does the car perform better or worse after the conversion?

Here in the states, such a conversion would be very costly. Did you do a complete conversion....or was it a hybrid conversion where you can still burn petrol and also burn LPG?

Also, what did it cost? Will you save enough in LPG to recoup the conversion cost or is it an environmental concern conversion also?

Thanks!
