LPG conversion is costly as you need new gas tanks, injectors and so on compared to E85 conversion where you just put signal conversion box between injector wires

guessing u aren’t in u.k. , lpg conversion isn’t cheap but pays for itself pretty quick if u use car , no point doing it unless u do miles , my last e50 think pay off was 11k miles and i did 50-60k miles , i run my e50 on e5 when using petrol , but that’s a personal choice , now it’s been mentioned about not many lpg cars in france , got to admit i’ve not had to queue much in last 20 years there

So normal E10 is ok then?

Jury is out on E10, if you don't do many miles then that extra ethanol can potentially play havoc as it sits in the tank for weeks on end. For the extra few pence E5 is the safer bet, if you can find petrol without ethanol even better....

I haven't had any problems with ethanol in any of my cars last 10 years. Options here in Finland are 95E10, 98E5 or E85. I usually mix 50% 95E10 and 50% E85 to all my cars to have a better octane and cheaper price and as I said no problems what so ever with the ethanol in any of them.

If you argue that ethanol causes problems with fuel lines of what ever it doesn't matter if you have 5% or 10% or even more of it. I would only avoid ethanol in some older carburetor cars if they sit for a long time.
 
I used to have a JDM Subaru which ran on normal unleaded but I added proboost to increase the Octane, it was a much cheaper option than super unleaded lol, would this be an option on the Elgrand?
