Latest Wheels mag had the head of holden predicting that Aust wont get petrol/diesel in the next 5-10 years. A prediction which is backed up by the CSIROs 2008 report "fuel for thought". Sydney paper today reckons that within 20 years, Aust will need to replace 80% of it's petrol products with LPG........the writing seems to be on the wall........petrol prices will just keep going up (once the economy is back on track) until we are forced to use LPG. interesting that LPG is quite cheap because there is no exise on it.....YET.......with petrol running out, it is only a matter of time before state and federal govs need to make some extra tax somewhere....and LPG will be it!!!!!

I send them one every couple of months and they do reply. This car has the lowest CO2 emissions of any reasonable size car and will be the cheapest car to run by a mile.

Now im not a big hybrid man myself, nor do i intend on buying a hybrid, im pretty much into sporty v6's and v8's but i just thinking of the lpg-hybrid & diesel-hybrid because 1 of my cars duel fuel. (For those who must know its a 2003 Holden VY Berlina). but the only problem with lpg is that u get less km per tank than petrol. I get about 350-450 km (70 litre lpg tank) and between 500 - 650 km (65 litre petrol) i always fill up with premium 98 RON, i found out u can get upto 100 km extra a tank. depending on my driving style sometines You know whats amazing i was just thinking of lpg hybrid or diesel hybrid yesterday. i mean if ur cheap or for those environmentalist buy a prius

and then if ur really cheap or a environmentalist FREAK then u can buy a lpg / diesel hybrid. lol JKZ JKZ

David,

Installers contacted all complain of being delayed by EPA. Your research will be appreciated .
