It with be a great if somebody will make a car which works both with petrol and diesel oil. Than we don't have to pay attention what we'll refill.

Except that one engine has spark plugs (petrol) and the other runs on compression ignition (diesel)... ;)

I think MB tried that with their DiesOtto engine.

Why is it only for the 1.6?

maybe because they are still in tests and maybe they expects to have some problems

Simply because a 1.6 engine with 97 horses is more than enough for 95% of transportation needs, thus reducing fuel needs and cost of the car. You know you don't need a 2-ton 300 horsepower truck just to go to work everyday... This is enough reason for most of EU citizens.

I thought the VW/Audi all-alloy petrol 1.6 had been superseded, along with 1.9 TDI.

well lpg usage isn't new. aftermarket install of lpg is widely used and $$ numbers are much lower than golf's lpg numbers. And if u don't know about lpg usage, its used on many Suv's and luxury cars as well. my friend has a cherokee 4.8L and it runs as smoothly as the petrol version. and consumes much less $$. and emisions at that. I wonder what the reason might be for the high lpg usage of golf. also bmw had a lpg car that can reach 330kmh, which I had read in wcf back a while ago.

In Poland where I live, LPG is as popular as diesel, especially in cars with bigger engines, albeit I am not a big fan of this technology, it helps save the money much and makes great, but uneconomical cars actually possible to drive, where the petrol is very expensive.

LPG should be good stuff, here in Hong Kong, they use it with all the taxi and mini-bus, they seem to run well and last long :)
