ancullen Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 tas_ae71 - the Celsior/LS400 also has a price more in line with a BMW or Mercedes. In the value for money stakes, the Falcons and Commodores are extremely hard to beat (for a vehicle of their size). And for performance value, there's not many cars that will do a sub-14 quarter for less than $60,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hardware Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Ah, sorry, I didn't realise it was only the BA/BF Falcon's that had the pure LPG option. Well, truth to be known, you can get a gas only AUII/AUIII. Mine was the last of the last of the Falcon factory dual fuellers. Just lucky. Definitely wouldn't argue with your choice of the Falcon over the Jetta. Cheers. I don't think too many Aussie blokes in their right mind would. However, it would be interesting to see the TSI technology developed for a bigger motor, and also to see it used in conjunction with LPG. Yes, yes indeed. Seeing as LPG is between 100-110 octane. Actually, I'd be interested in testing any of the newer, improved fuel economy motors tested on LPG, as one would imagine that the $/km would decrease even further. Yes, but the weight of the BA/BF negates the savings unfortunately. How about a 4.0L LPG TSI for the win? Yes, in every regard. Except for Longevity. Commo Motor = low tech, long lasting Falcon Motor = low tech, long lasting Toyota K Motor = low tech, long lasting wait, there's a pattern going on here.

dysolve Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 the nissan patrol 3 litre turbo diesel runs upto 26PSI from the factory, australia is so far behind in terms of engine size to power output, we as a country are to set in our ways with big bogan V8. and people get ready for the shock.. we pay next to nothing for fuel compaired to other "westernized" country. most of the EC pays well above 4 times the price we pay. and based on average wages we pay the same as th US.. If you think fuel its to expensive sell ya car and buy a push-bike and ride every where "who's coming on a cruse this weekend, I just put full sic 26" chromies on my malvin star" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 High tech doesn't have to mean decreased longevity. Hell, the 4A-GE's got a very good compromise between high tech, power, and longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
