Most of the vehicles I've seen here running on LP are actually termed PPVs (Propane Powered Vehicles) though.
But is it used as an option like Holden and Ford have here, Holden with the duel fuel Commodore and Ford with the dedicted LPG Falcon.

With the new liquid injection system about to be released here it makes a V8 option a good option, do any Aussies know if the V8 will be able to run this system alone?

I wonder how popular it might be if GM or Ford offered a V8 on LPG as an option for their cars?? Similar power and less cost, always nice.
