switching from oil to lpg

[Kent]

Has anyone done the above? I moved into a my first house 18 months ago and it has oil central heating with a 1000l tank. I plan on changing the boiler for various reasons and was seeing if I would be better of with lpg. After calling calor gas it seems I cannot have a bulk tank due to my garden being to small, you need a 3 metre area around the tank ( my neighbour has a bulk tank which is next to the garage?) The only option I have is to have 4 x 47kg bottles. Calor told me that the bottles are £50 each and in the winter months 2 bottles will last 3 weeks then it has an auto change over valve to the next two bottles. Does 3 weeks seem about right? I have A 2 bed with 8 radiators with the heating on for 4 hours every evening at the moment? Seems like it's going to be expensive, £100 every 3 weeks and the hassle is calling regular to arange delivery.
So far I have only needed to order oil twice, 500 litre a time at around £300 a time, admitadly I have not had the heating on as much as I would like due to faults with the boiler, trying to nurse it till I could afford a replacement I would use more oil on a fully working boiler.
The guy from calor Was saying lpg was more efficient and would heat up faster so I use less? it seems unless I had a large bulk tank I would be better off with oil?

DON'T DO IT! LPG requires oil supply to manufacture, from a bottled supply it will freeze and fail to empty a bottle. Per unit of heat fuel oil is now compeating with natural mains gas and is set to better it shortly. The only downside is oil boilers are basic yet I should say that's a positive plus in "fix ye not" modern throw away times

Pondy I had LPG when I moved into this house 28 years ago, It was costing me £100/month during the winter and the house was not particularly cosy. I've had oil for over 20 years now and would never consider going back to LPG.
The oil boiler is over 20 years old and the only problem I've had was a fault with the Tiger Loop which caused the burner to surge, new Tiger Loop solved problem, the efficiency is still up in the mid 80's so unless it packs in I won't be changing it anytime soon.
Like one of the guys said earlier insulate as much as possible and deal with draughts, oil is currently 1/3 cheaper than at same time last year so stick with it.
