For many, the idea of alternative fuel is likely to conjure up images
of NZ Ford Cortina drivers of the early '80s putting along on CNG. But
Ford-of-Australia has a new car on the block and it doesn't run on petrol.
Can they convince the unconverted?
... Bob's comments ran through my mind as I hopped behind the wheel of
Ford's dedicated LPG Falcon Futura. That word dedicated is important - it
means that unlike some cars that have after-market LPG tanks fitted, this
Ford is factory equipped to run on LPG and LPG alone.
At NZ$46,100, the LPG Futura is just NZ$1,500 more than its petrol
powered equivalent.
... Ford claims the power output of the LPG Falcon is 143kw with 362Nm of
torque versus the petrol car's 157kw 357Nm torque.
