Benefits of LPG?

malazn mafia · 15-07-2009, 12:10 AM

Of course we all know LPG is cheaper (and not associated with 'performance' cars).. but does anybody else find that driving an LPG car seems to attract less cop attention? Driving around the western suburbs of melbourne, and sometimes through hoon capital areas, I've seen my fair share of late model P-plate commodore/falcon xr6 pulled over for no apparent reason, maybe for a license check/RBT.. Whereas my XT kitted up to look like a typhoon, lowered, and a polished front mount has never attracted a second look from the police, whether behind me, in front of me, or next to me at the lights?.. not even one encounter with police?

: Do cops go... 'hmm.. not a performance/hoon car when they see 'LPG' on the number plates?' After all, if i recall correctly, not that long ago, didnt the police themselves have a bit of dramas with a fleet of e-gas falcons

: not holding up to police duties...

ROFL!

I personally think that the days of "LPG = can't break the speed limit" are over!

to the enthusiast, this is true, but to the larger community, lpg still equals 'economy' not 'performance'. as more and more cars hit the market, esp from manufacturers, this mindset will change but it will take time.

malazn, is your car an XT with phoon running gear, and your licence plates still have the old gas sticker from when it was an XT? If so, well done that sneaky haha

haha, its an XT with xr6t running gear, still with black door mouldings. And yes, i've kept the gas system and stickers from its former life as a $7K high km XT on injected gas.
