Just seen a Lancer Coupe approx 2001 or 2002. Same as I traded for Falcon. It's either a 1.5 or 1.8L. Now I know for a fact how economical my 5 speed manual was around the city stop start driving. This car I seen was a driving instructors car so im sure it does heap of kay's. In a small light car like that I would have thought it would have made a huge differance. But I assume he did his math. :eclipsee_

Guy I went to Uni with had an old Ford Meteor on LPG. He nicknamed it "Mr Economy."
This was about 7ish years ago when LPG cost bugger all as well.

Also in Shanghai petrol scooters are now banned and you are only allowed LPG scooters.

Red book lists them at $52K-$60K (trade) or $61K-$73K (retail) See: http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au...p?key=ROLL91AB I nice one here with 59,000km on it for $67.5K http://www.drive.com.au/used_cars/ro...&pp=1&d=0&nv=1 If I bought a second hand 6.8L Roller, I could see the point in putting in a gas tank. |

BA XR8, what a waste.
I've got nothing against gas but a performance car should not be allowed to be put on gas, it's just wrong. |
