Difference between LPG and Petrol

In this little experiment I tested the difference in time it took to go from 0-100km/h on Liquid Petroleum Gas (lpg) and then again on 95 octane petrol in my 99 AU Ford Falcone Forte.

Great to see a Teacher doing cool experements for a change, something that incorperates a real life component that students can relate to. COOLEST TEACHER EVER!

The new Liquid Injection LPG systems will make MORE power and torque than petrol. Even Vapour-phase Injection systems will yield zero power loss. Old mixer-based systems compromise performance on BOTH gas and petrol due to the introduction of an intake restriction (down to 40mm).

@RUMBALman4downunder i think your right mate i have a lpg car and there isnt that much difference at all maybe his pickup is a bit fucked

there must be something wrong with this falcon on petrol it got a 12.68 seconds my 1993 ED farimont goes 0-100 in 7.86 and 7.45 with the power mode on now my falcon has got 148kw and 350nm. Now this 99 AU should have 157kw and 360nm on petrol so it ether has an extra 400kg in the car not include the two people in it or the motor/transmission are realy sick because a ok condition 99 AU should do 0-100 in at least a 9 seconds

it has nothing to do with properties.

ummm... ur falcon has a computer that learns how u drive so obviosly the first time u flatten it its going to go slow ... theres no difference idiots

lol my eb falcon does 0-100 in about 9 seconds on both lpg and petrol, looks like there's something wrong with your car.

A properly tuned lpg falcon has as much acceleration as a petrol one. One is a lpg tuning screw adjustment that sits on the converter (twist that) the other is the ECU computer located under the glovebox..reprogram that or for a quick fix get another ECU and plug it in...bingo the falcon on lpg has way better acceleration than before

Hahaha fun video, does your school have an Systems automotive teacher? The main problem with dual fuel is you cant easily tune the car to run optimal on both fuels which skews the comparison.

@PoweredByCNG I have bmw e46 325i so a u say if i will convert to new lpg system will my bmw run as on petrol? but what about exhaust valves and it seats recession?

I don't think he was flooring it or there is something wrong with his car. I have a VS Commodore thats duel fuel and yes i do notice a difference in the way it performs but i don't think mine is that slow.
