Real world economy would be interesting, especially under a bit of load. But Commodores were never ever good towing cars in any form they've been made in.
The truth is that Holden looked at the technical issues required to make LPI work and quickly decided
that they didn't have or want to spend the time and resources on an emerging technology.
Ford had technical and supplier problems with EcoLPI that held the car up for a considerable period.

So in the long run, will customer satisfaction be improved by offering LPI over multi point vapor injection?
If we were talking retail sales, then I would say yes but Ford & Holden are clearly pitching to fleets.
So is EocLPI wasted on fleet sales, do fleet managers just want an LPG system that saves them money?
I say this because a lot of people are zeroing in on performance, the last thing on fleets minds...
