Financial Benefits
You will save money by converting your vehicle or motorbike to AutoGas.
Cost of fuel – The forecourt price of AutoGas is approximately half that of petrol and diesel. Whilst the Km per litre when running on LPG is usually around 20% less than petrol, significant cost savings can be made. The price of LPG benefits from lower fuel duty than petrol or diesel, meaning that the price of LPG is around half that of petrol and diesel. LPG motorists therefore benefit by around 40% fuel cost savings compared with petrol and around 15% compared with an equivalent diesel.
Environmental Benefits
AutoGas is Cleaner and Greener – today’s vehicles are much cleaner than they used to be but they still contribute to air pollution, vehicles converted to run on LPG produce far fewer of the harmful emissions associated with traditional fuels and so offer the best environmental alternative. Air quality, particular in urban areas, is a continuing issue for the nation’s health. NOx emissions are also a major element of low level ozone, which causes smog and can worsen existing asthma conditions.
Extensive independent tests showed that:
- One diesel vehicle emits 120 times the amount of fine particles as the equivalent LPG vehicle.
- It takes 20 LPG vehicles to emit the same amount of NOx as one diesel vehicle.
- LPG cars have 11% CO2 benefit
