I got installed a Lendi Renzo Kit in my 2008 SX4. at odo of 40,000 KM. in the 5000 Km that I ran on CNG, the results pretty good. I hope your queries get answered by following data.
Current average on CNG is 20+ Car Runs upto 180 KM in a cylinder full (hardly fills 8.5 Kg in a 12 Kg Rated cylinder). most of my run is on Gurgaon Toll Road. office hours.
Pickup: Its okie to drive normally and overtake normally car still goes upto 80Kmph in second gear. and you wont face any practical difficulty. BUT dont challenge anybody to race. That instant Puch of pickup is totally gone. Your will feel that 30 out of 100 horses you had are sleeping.
Top Speed: The car doesnot go beyond 130KMPH on CNG. and top speed on petrol is 168 now. Earlier I had driven it upto 175 many times.
40% reduction in avg: I have also noticed that initially when the car switches from CNG to petrol it consumes too much. The Petrol needle dips a full notch in only 20 km Drive may be the engine takes time to adjust to fuel change. but after consuming 2-3 ltrs its normal as it used to be
Average on long journey Petrol: gave 12 kmpl on a fully loaded drive (5 Adults + 3 Kids+ Luggage + CNG Cylinder in Boot) from gurgaon to Rishikesh the road is in pathetic shape at many places. some part of the drive is in hilly region, and the traffic was horrifying. took 10 hrs for one side 260 Km journey. considering all this 12KMpl was not bad atall. I dont think car would would have given Any better average had it been not fitted with CNG kit.

In my view Close loop with TAP and Lamda is the best CNG kit for Big cars.
Now I need help from you people ... One of the dealer is saying that once you fit CNG than your petrol average is going to reduce by 40% , because they have to tune the car in to CNG . That’s shaken me from my decision of going for CNG option. If somebody knowing or experience about this issue than please let me know.
Your view on the discussion is highly solicited
Thanks in advance
