    You are absolutely right. That was also in my mind but I was warned that the Kembara has a known issue with the GB and it costs RM3K to fix. So, since it is in good condition, I should get rid of it first. Moreover, it is so underpowered, it is really frustrating. However, we both enjoy the elevated position that a SUV gives. That is the fun part of driving a SUV. Anymore, am thinking of selling it for a Wira 1.5 Auto. About the same price anyway and the Wira is more comfortable and has slightly more power. FC is only slightly better, I think unless I get the fuel injection model.

    My buddy is quite convinced the cost of LPG conversion on his aging Land Cruiser may be a very viable option. That tank drinks petrol and very costly to drive outstation and back, not to mention the toll duty.
    I'm going to accompany my this friend to see this LC fuel conversion and of course monitor its performance. My fren very very calculative one!...in other words KHon! The other fler tokking about it even typically more calculative when comes to any expenditure!
    Myself? I PAY and fill in RON97, whatever the price BECAUSE THAT CAR IS REALLY UNDERUSED! less than Rm60/month on petrol. My other banger is Kancil!...no ploplem!
    If I am a high mileage driver, I will definitely consider that. All the KLIA budget taxis use LPG. However when the mileage is so low, to spend $3K-$7k is not wise. We probably use about $100.00 per month on the Kembara since the wifey use it when I am not around.

    Of course, of course, you know best! NGV is merely a suggestion for anyone to think about. Of course there's just as many people who INSIST on saving every sen in wherever they can save/stinge! doesn't matter RM50/month current petrol expenditure.
