Now all that needs to happen is for the number of servos will LPG to increase in NON capital cities.

I know of a few guys that have had to pay for a few hundred KM of towing because the ONLY pump in 500km is empty and they didn't have 500km of LPG left in the tank.

I'd still prefer an aftermarket conversion.
If you follow this advice and 'the dyno' can't 'give you what you wanted'. Remember one thing, I don't give a shit what 'the dyno' says.
Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first ensure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

There is still plenty of stock of brand new BF III 2010 LPG wagons. Probably because dealers want $35-45k plus...

I have, they go hard, but there is definitely torque truncation holding it back.

G'day all, Ford has released a 'Top Gear' inspired video showing off the EcoLPi's performance, boot space and running costs.

Good to see some marketing being done. Cheers.

The new gas motor is great. Testing has shown how powerful and good they are for towing. I'll definately be considering one as a more reliable daily. The aftermarket will eventually have a ball with these. Sooooo much potential.
