It's LPG. The consumption is 25-50% worse compared to petrol and the power is reduced 20-30%, albeit based on Australian taxi figures.. small 4 cyl will me different. Jing - this is not LNG.

So perhaps this is where the tech came from. The sources on Wiki are dead now, so I can't find out if it was a dual fuel or what.

This makes liquified natural gas twice as expensive? Correct me if I’m wrong, but this doesn’t seem very economical to me.

I hope the production model's luggage room has a more finished appearance. This looks like a prototype. I hope the production model’s luggage room has a more finished appearance.

The market in Germany is desperate for low-budget super economical cars. LPG is around .70€ a litre while petrol is around 1.40€ a litre in Germany. They should export it to europe!
