    WE CONTACTED Mitsubishi on your behalf and it confirmed it is aware of your problem and acknowledges it has your letter. We were also told it has been in touch with you about the issue and has reiterated that if you have issues with your vehicle you are covered by roadside assist.

    Driving, it's a gas

    THE 380's engine is LPG-compatible so there won't be any issues with reliability down the road. I can't comment on the cheaper system. You don't say what brand it is. But I have driven a 380 with the Impco system, which was developed for Mitsubishi, and I thought it started, drove and performed well -- so much so that you could barely tell it was running on LPG and not petrol.

    Hit the gas
    Answered by Graham Smith · 18 January 2007

    YOU are correct. The 380 is LPG-compatible and Mitsubishi dealers will have systems available for installation. Two types of LPG systems are used, a vapour mixer system, and gas injection. The injection system is state of the art and that's the one to have. I have driven a 380 fitted with the Impco system developed for Mitsubishi and it's a beauty. It starts, idles, drives and performs without fault.

    Plug problems
    Answered by Graham Smith · 16 November 2006

    YES it is. And I'm told all spark plugs in the 380 are platinum-tipped, not just the rear plugs, as was the case in the Magna.

    MITSUBISHI has produced Magnas with dedicated LPG, and there has also been a factory-approved dealer-installed Impco dual-fuel option from TJ. Dual-fuel has been approved for the 380 and will be available in a few months.
