Ford Australia has produced a lighthearted yet provocative video of the new Ford Falcon EcoLPi.

It’s called the ‘Ford Falcon LPi $2 Grand Prix’, and it pits a Ford Falcon XR6 EcoLPi (4.0-litre straight-six LPG) against a Toyota Corolla Ascent hatch (1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol) and a Holden Commodore SV6 (3.6-litre V6 petrol).

There are three challenges in the $2 Grand Prix: a 100m sprint, a boot capacity test, and an endurance test.

The three challenges are designed to dismiss stereotypes of LPG-powered vehicles, by showing the Falcon XR6 EcoLPi is the quickest over 100m, has the largest boot , and can drive the furthest distance on just $2 of fuel, while also proving that it can outperform its top-selling rivals in a series of specific tests.




For the endurance test, the Commodore and Corolla were filled with 1.49 litres of unleaded petrol at $1.34/litre, while the Falcon got 3.17 litres of LPG at $0.63/litre.

In the fine print, it explains the Commodore covered 14.7km before running out of juice, the Corolla 20.2km and the Falcon 25.2km.
