With rising oil and petrol prices, there’s never been a better time to consider converting your car to liquid petroleum gas (LPG). With forecourt prices at an all-time high, both unleaded petrol and diesel are becoming a serious drain on the wallet of even the casual motorist. LPG, which is sometimes referred to as LP Gas or Autogas, is a cheaper than both of the standard fuels and is also a cleaner alternative.
Cleaner and Cheaper
Liquid petroleum gas is manufactured during the production of crude oil, and can also be taken from oil or gas streams as they are drawn out of the ground. CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 20% when autogas is used instead of petrol, and this is beneficial for the environment.
LPG has also been found to be cleaner when compared with diesel – autogas releases far less nitric oxides into the air when compared to this other fuel. Because of their stated aim of promoting green technologies, the government has not increased tax as much as on other petrol or diesel, meaning great savings can be made if your vehicle is converted to run this fuel.
