(4) A dual fuel (petrol/LPG) vehicle was trialed over 60,000 kms and it proved not to be good value for money due to the significant effect of the higher initial cost on the lease rate.
Since the entry onto the market of the LPG fuelled Falcon, discussions have been held with the fleet manager about its general suitability. It was considered that further assessment should be undertaken when the next vehicle becomes due for replacement.
It should be noted that larger vehicles are less than desirable for our requirements in some instances, however, we intend to maintain an interest in the introduction of other LPG fuelled vehicles as they come onto the market.
