Holden Rodeo 2003: How to reduce fuel consumption?

Answered by Graham Smith · 27 Apr 2006

THE 3.5-litre V6 petrol engined RA Rodeo has a reputation for being thirsty. There is a factory-approved dual-fuel kit available, and this may be the best way to reduce your fuel bills. The jury is still out on the economy of the new Alloytec V6 Rodeo. When asked, Holden wouldn't say if the new engine was more economical than the old one.

Holden Rodeo 2004: V6 fuel guzzler

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 20 Jul 2006

The V6 Rodeo has a reputation as a guzzler and the figures you quote are pretty normal. Fit a dual-fuel system and run it on LPG. Holden has a factory-approved kit that can be fitted by your dealer.

Holden Rodeo 2005: Does LPG compromise the warranty?

Answered by CarsGuide team · 04 Feb 2005

AFTER thoroughly checking LPG kits and fitters, Holden has approved an LPG kit and certified fitters to install LPG in the Rodeo. If you get this kit and it's fitted by one of the approved fitters, your warranty will not be affected. Check with your dealer and ask him to show you that the kit and fitting company he is using are approved by Holden. He will have the information on hand.
