Hi all,
Needing to update my daily driver to a 7 seater wagon, the missus would like something a bit newer. Ive noticed that there are stacks more dedicated LPG or dual fuel Ford EL AU BAs around than VS VT VX VY Commodores. One dealer told me it was because a straight 6 like the ford motor responds much better to LPG than the V6 Commodore. I was just wondering if the dealer was talking crap or was making a valid point?? Any assistance from those who might have a dual fuel V6 Commodore for example and can give some feedback on what it's like would be great.
Thanks
Peter

Holden V6 run worse on gas than petrol.
