Weight worries

THE Falcon will convert and run on LPG, and you will ultimately save at the bowser once you've recovered the cost of installing the system. The Federal Government plans to add excise to LPG from 2011, but will cap it at 12.5 cents a litre, which is a long way short of the 38 cents a litre we pay on petrol. It will remain a good deal. To find out about the best system for your car, talk to the installers who should be able to tell you about the merits of the systems they sell, and ask them to talk to owners who have the systems fitted to their cars so you can get a second opinion.
