LPG Falcon - Fairmont
Ford Australia is the only Australian manufacturer with a dedicated LPG engine. Models available include Fairmont - Sedan, Falcon XT & Futura - Sedan/Wagon, Falcon XL/XLS/RTV - Ute/Cab Chassis, Falcon XL/XLS/RTV/XR6 - Ute/Styleside Box.
Ford recently held an around Australia LPG challenge. The 23-day journey covered almost 14,000 kilometres across mainland states in a dedicated LPG Falcon. The LPG Challenge returned to Melbourne on August 25 after spending only $997.55 on fuel by filling up solely on LPG.
Whats cool about that, is the fact that LPG is becoming more mainstream with availabilty not too much of a problem.
And $1000 for 14,000kms lets compare a Falcon and a Barina:
2006 Holden Barina 4 cylinder 1.6l
Fuel consumption: AS 2877 and ADR 81/01, combined (l/100km): 6.9
Math: 6.9l x 140 = 966. 966 x $1.20 = $1159.2
This Falcon sounds good!
