With petrol at $1.40 a litre and LPG nearly a 3rd of the cost, ive just realised my EL is just as cheap to run as a Toyota Prius.
Ford could sell a load of Falcons by heavily advertising LPG and its advantages. Drop the price of the option to $500, offer it on XT, Futura, Fairmont and Ghia, Territory. Advertise that they are cheaper to run than a Prius, plus more environmentally friendly (remember LPG is a by-product of the petrolium industry) Watch them walk out the door. Or am I missing something? Do Ford not have the supply of parts available to sell them in big numbers?
