Comments: Car has always been a beast. For some reason the ford first gear is very long.  Every time I take off it always bogs some till it gets to 2800rpm then topped out at 4200. I was told that’s gas and you cant fix it.  Well the Stage 2 J3 Chip fixed it.  First doesn’t feel too long and I rarely have to go full throttle and if I do it would only be in the upper rev range.

I normally only get 300km to 65l LPG around town.  Highway is good with 12.3L / 100 gas but that’s aiming for economy and not much hard acceleration.  I installed the chip when I was about 190km into a tank of gas.   The tank is almost empty but I am up to 350km so far around town. I have never seen the car go so far on one tank around town and this is already 2/3rd of the way into the tank.  I cant wait to fill the tank fully and see what milage I can get.

Thanks guys you have made LPG worth it and affordable.
