A typical example is a customer of mine that usually buys 4cyl Hilux cab chassis utes, bought a Falcon XL C/C e-gas ute, and will replace all their Hilux's with e-gas XL utes. His first one was ordered in October, and arrived in early January (Dec/05 build).

That is good. I spoke to one of the Ford engineers recently who told me that Ford Australia is building almost 100 cars per day fitted with the E-gas engine. 12 months ago this figure was only approximately 20 per day.

With this increased demand, what is the lead time for ordering an E-gas equipped car? I heard that dealers don't usually hold these vehicles in stock so they are only built to order.
