		<description>I want a Ford Ranger with a small diesel engine. When can I get one? We have thousands of small Bio-plants starting up in the USA and we can run 50 percent Bio in warm weather
with no problems. Bio has very little polution and be made for 38 cents a gallon. I have a VW Jetta diesel that gets 50 miles a gallon and has a powerful 1.9 100 horse engine. It runs like a 400 horse engine and better than any gas engine I&#039;ve owned in the past 50 years. Lets get with the program and beat out dealers in other Nations.

		<description>Well the petrol companies have it over us, Diesel is more than Petrol, seems to me the answer is Hybrid, I am sure battery replacement will be no more expensive than  Diesel parts or Turbos or superchargers, we need cleaner air right!!</description>

		<description>I agree Andrew M.

There couldn&#039;t be much more to it surely?

All the plumbing is there. Engine internals also suitably modified which is a bonus over the petrol variant.

I don&#039;t know if that means much as a mate has a duel fuel VS and it&#039;s been running gas for last 150,000klms of its 230,000klm life with no probs although it has got a flash lube kit fitted.</description>

		<description>Realcars,
mate i was actually going to find out myself what the cost would be to have a better aftermarket LPG computer fitted to an E-Gas model.

if i can be bothered before i sign the bottom line i will suss it out.

half the stuff is already done with the E-Gas, its just lacking the better brain.</description>

		<description>dont worry guys TP is a fictional character.

nobody can deliver so many &quot;flawed&quot; arguments and seriously think they are for real.

i mean now he says LPG is scarce????
and you will always see a 40kw difference in power yet on the other hand acknowledge how there are systems that deliver comparible power outputs???

just laugh it off

i reckon he must type this sort of stuf and then sit there and play with himself laughing about how funny he thinks he is

oh we are laughing aswell alright, but it is just NOT WITH YOU (its at you if you didnt get the drift)
(well thats if you know what a drift is in your FWD camry)</description>

		<description>Falcon egas(HAS NO INJECTORS WORKS LIKE A CARBY) could be improved if it was the same type as used on the Commodore(USES GAS INJECTORS SIMILAR TO EFI). Forget the dual fuel thing for a minute TP.

Commodore would be EVEN BETTER on gas if the current system was dedicated i.e no petrol and engine tuned exclusively for gas.</description>

		<description>Lets not use excuses that Falcon hasnt been updated... the fact they havent is no doubt because there isnt much advancement to be had! The duel fuel system with its injection system offers more practicality with only 5kw loss of powered compared to 40kw with LPG and it also gives the convenience of regular petrol is LPG is scarce.</description>

		<description>MR T,
you have no idea.
how do you summarise that duel fuels lose less power yet drink more than dedicated models?

your argument is &quot;flawed&quot; as we say around here.

the falcons system shows a greater power difference against its petrol version purely because it hasnt seen any advancements over the past 8yrs.

just track it back 8 yrs and have a look at the power equivalent of the petrol falcon V LPG falcon back then.

the commodore consumes more because it is duel fuel. also are you really that silly to think that if the commodore system was dedicated it would lose a hell of a lot more power.

in basic terms the falcons system is still running &quot;carby&quot; LPG where as the after market system on the commodore is running an &quot;EFI&quot; LPG.
if the commodore was dedicated it would achieve similar consumption results to its petrol equivalent.

if the falcon had &quot;EFI&quot; LPG, it would achieve near identical power and consumption figures to the petrol version.

Wheelnut,
yes i know it takes a bit more to refine the oil through the processes they are now shifting focus to, but now days it is worth it due to the high prices.

just say for eg that the refining from shale and sand cost 1/3 more to get to the product compared to the oil that needs less refining from the wells.

well now that oil has doubled in price 1/3 more isnt that much compared to what it was 10 yrs ago.</description>

		<description>Andrew M - there was also a report on 60 minutes which said there is alot of oil to be had in both Canada and Australia.

The problem is unlike regular crude Liquid Oil; the oil in Canada is in the form of Sand Oil and the oil in Australia is in the form of Shale oil.
Both of which are harder to extract than normal oil as there is a considerable amount of mining involved and both of which have a heavy impact on the environment.

Whether or not these processes take over from drilling for Crude Oil when the deposits in the ocean run dry depends on whther or not the government/voters believe its worth further damage to an already unstable environment or leaving it and trying to fix the situation - 

The fact Governments around the world are offering incentives for car companies to produce and people to buy hybrids whilst imposing penalties on fuel cars such as Londons Congestion Tax indicates they are leaning more towards a Greener future not Black</description>

		<description>Oh as for Fords comments... Im not suprised, its not a matter of hybrids having no future, more they havent been able to develop anything in this area so lets just say its not the future! The Falcon hybrid project, heavily govt funded, barely got off the ground after years.</description>

		<description>Duel fuel doesnt really have a signifcant decrease in fuel consumption... what it does have is far less loss of power (ie far more practical). The LPG Falcon loses 40kw while the duel fuel Commodore only loses 5kw. These numbers speak for themselves.</description>

		<description>oh and Realcars,

the falcon E Gas doesnt consume more fuel than the duel fuelled commodore.

the old tech system ford uses stil fares alright when it comes to that comparison, obviously helped by the ideal set up of dedicated fuel delivery as opposed to the compromised duel fuel set up.

a dedicated sequential vapour LPG falcon would achieve near identical consumption to its petrol brother, mark my words.

ive seen duel fuelled (compromised) territory&#039;s achieve 13L/100
and SS commodores achieve higher power out puts on LPG than on petrol</description>

		<description>Golfy,
my predictions into the auto future are quickly becoming a reality, as wheelnut emailed me to tell me my predictions on VE production are also becoming a reality as with concentration on LPG by ford. ha ha ha ha (did that make sense? oh well)

I&#039;d reckon i could name my price if i went around to any auto maker ha ha ha ha ha.

the only thing i say about this, is its 2 yrs too late, but better too late than never i suppose.

they really needed to have the sequential vapour system in it with the FG upgrade if they were as serious as they say

i still dont see whats stopping the 6sp auto being put in it though. i currently have the 5sp manual in mine and its the lack of gear box choice that will se me leave LPG behind when i upgrade very soon (sob sob)

it seems the only sceptics are those that dont have their facts right.

i mean those that think that diesel emitts less stuff into the air than LPG are wrong.

those that think LPG means there has to be a massive power drop and economy increase are wrong

and what about the ones out there that say &quot;but they are still using oil&quot;
well no they are not!!!!
grab an encyclopedia and discover that LPG isnt primarily made from oil. i mean if you have so much time to sit here and whinge about resources, perhaps do a web search and you will then have no reason for your stubborn, ill perceived ways. australia burns off a hell of a lot of gas due to not enough demand.

oh and if any one watched ACA last night, what did you think of the article that declared that we have hundreds of years of oil left???????

oh and i totally love the ones that harp on about what if LPG hits $1.50 per litre????????
well ill tell ya what happens, petrol will at that time be $3.20 per litre and you will be then saying what if LPG hits $3.20 per litre???
all whilst never realising that no matter how far back in history you track it LPG has always benn less than half the price and always will be.
demand has increased massively over the years and the LPG/unleaded price differential has remained the same</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golfy,<br />
my predictions into the auto future are quickly becoming a reality, as wheelnut emailed me to tell me my predictions on VE production are also becoming a reality as with concentration on LPG by ford. ha ha ha ha (did that make sense? oh well)</p>
<p>I&#8217;d reckon i could name my price if i went around to any auto maker ha ha ha ha ha.</p>
<p>the only thing i say about this, is its 2 yrs too late, but better too late than never i suppose.</p>
<p>they really needed to have the sequential vapour system in it with the FG upgrade if they were as serious as they say</p>
<p>i still dont see whats stopping the 6sp auto being put in it though. i currently have the 5sp manual in mine and its the lack of gear box choice that will se me leave LPG behind when i upgrade very soon (sob sob)</p>
<p>it seems the only sceptics are those that dont have their facts right.</p>
<p>i mean those that think that diesel emitts less stuff into the air than LPG are wrong.</p>
<p>those that think LPG means there has to be a massive power drop and economy increase are wrong</p>
<p>and what about the ones out there that say &#8220;but they are still using oil&#8221;<br />
well no they are not!!!!<br />
grab an encyclopedia and discover that LPG isnt primarily made from oil. i mean if you have so much time to sit here and whinge about resources, perhaps do a web search and you will then have no reason for your stubborn, ill perceived ways. australia burns off a hell of a lot of gas due to not enough demand.</p>
<p>oh and if any one watched ACA last night, what did you think of the article that declared that we have hundreds of years of oil left???????</p>
<p>oh and i totally love the ones that harp on about what if LPG hits $1.50 per litre????????<br />
well ill tell ya what happens, petrol will at that time be $3.20 per litre and you will be then saying what if LPG hits $3.20 per litre???<br />
all whilst never realising that no matter how far back in history you track it LPG has always benn less than half the price and always will be.<br />

		<description>For the city, I&#039;ll keep riding my bike... and keep my 2.0 litre turbo diesel golf for highway runs. It still averages 4.7 litres per 100 between sydney / melbourne. Go small turbo diesels!</description>

		<description>In the short term hybrids are not the answer as they are way too short term as pollution will still be caused! And in an increasing world population, that means more drivers and pollution will still occur and a nominal slower rate then now! 

Hydrogen is the answer...........&quot;Hydrogen, being a fuel that burns cleanly, it can directly address polluting emissions.&quot; 

&quot;When you burn hydrogen you produce only water, so there is no CO2 produced, so no impact on greenhouse gas emissions.&quot; (HYBRIDS STILL WILL PRODUCE CO2 EMISSIONS AND ARE STILL RELIANT ON PETROL AND/OR ELECTRICITY). 

Seems to me all people are blinded by this fact thinking it is the answer.....its only a stepping stone to next level (e.g. full electric or hydrogen)!</description>
