Hi,
Dont rely too much on the lpg consumption guide.
My inlaws have one (New Oct 2007) and it uses about double the L/100km on
city driving than the published "combined" consumption guide. Its been
back
several times to the dealer who cant find any problems.....
The also complain a lot about finish quality of local vehicles, although
their other cars have been hondas, lexus etc.... (unfair comparison to a
$20k Ford ute in my opinion)
Just my 2c worth ......
Gary...
