LPG does seem to have alot going for it. A family 6 with real economy of a tiddler.... hmmm.
On a side note, why isn't LPG also available on the V8?
Flexfuel e85 v6 or (I hope) v8 with dual fuel LPG would be a winner in my books. Have to available on the whole range, not just sedans though.
Another question, is there a danger in leaving e85 unused in your tank for long periods? does the "mix" separate?

IMHO a standard petrol tank full of vapour is more dangerous (explosive) than a solid steel LPG tank, especially with all the extra safety features they have. Also, the LPG has to be within a specific air/fuel ratio to ignite. Too rich or too lean & it will not ignite.
I'm with you on the E85 thing though. Not necessarily the mix separating, but the fuel itself evaporating away. Its evaporation rate must be very high - one of the problems with using E10 in old carby cars.
