On your Fuel Costs and Reduce Harmful Emissions
How can I use LPG – Autogas: Most petrol engines can be converted to run on LPG. The conversion involves the addition of the LPG fuel system and following the installation your vehicle will still be able to run on petrol.
Where can I buy LPG – Autogas: There are around 1300 public access fuel sites in the country, most of which are on petrol station forecourts. A full list can be obtained from http://www.lpga.co.uk/, http://www.boostlpg.com/, http://www.transportenergy.org.uk/ or by telephoning 01425461612.
Why LPG – Autogas: Recent tests have shown that on a well to wheel basis LPG vehicles averaged similar CO2 to diesel and 20% less than petrol. On urban roads a diesel vehicle emitted, on average, the same quantity of fine particles as 120LPG vehicles and the same amount of NOx as 20 LPG vehicles. The government has recognised these environmental benefits and has put in place a long term strategy for support by fixing the duty relative to that on petrol and diesel, three years in advance.
Saving you money: The duty levels announced enable the price of LPG to continue around half the price of petrol/diesel for the foreseeable future.
Miles per gallon is about 20% less than on petrol so that the overall savings of up to 40% can be achieved
Getting an LPG vehicle: LPG vehicles – both cars and vans – can be purchased direct from an increasing number of vehicle manufacturers. If you wish to convert an existing vehicle then ask us for a quote or check around the other 200 LPGA Approved Installer Scheme participating companies in the UK.
This scheme is the only one to receive official government recognition and is increasingly a requirement by insurance companies for any vehicles converted. Be certain to look out for the logo and that you will obtain an official certificate with its silver embossed security “Tick”.
How much will a conversion cost? From an average around £1600. Contact us for a quote or for further details as we can help to sort out any paperwork.
