Bi-Fuel cars are very common in NewZealand, India, and some other countries. After market kits are available to convert most cars to be able to use LPG and/or CNG along with regular gas (petrol). I have driven one for many years, the problem is lack of power (compression ratio), engine takes a beating and I have seen cars coming to end of life faster than when using conventional transportation fuel (petrol). I hope VW has addressed those issues.

Yes you are right LPG is very common here in NZ my mother uses it in her Holden, its very noticeable when you switch from petrol to lpg the loss of power, when i was a child back in the 80,s my parents used CNG but had to switch back to petrol for step hills etc, i never seem to come across it (CNG) these days, I'm not sure if the new direct injection engines work with LPG?? also our police cars have LPG installed buy Holden.

We have to start somewhere and it nice so many car companies are aggressively persueing alternative forms of energy. We have to stop buying from the BAD GUYS. The cars now adays are too powerful anyway. That is from a guy that has a Lamborghini. Most cars are fast enough.
