Small gas query

...

WITH petrol prices rising, are any companies developing direct-injection LPG kits for medium to small cars? I like Mitsubishis and thought of buying a new Lancer on LPG, but when you ask dealers about kits, they just shrug and say there aren't any or ask why you would bother. I don't think I'd be the only person interested?

ROB Chadwick, of Mitsubishi, told us that all carmakers in Australia are dependent upon the aftermarket LPG industry for their kits. The only technology available in Australia is gaseous injection. Direct injection is kept from the market here by an ongoing legal battle over the patent. There is no kit for the Lancer, yet, but one is in development by an aftermarket supplier and Mitsubishi hopes it will be available before the middle of the year.
