Converting your car to LPG (Auto Gas) - Other benefits |
|
LPG is a product of the oil and gas industries, so its long-term supply position is at least as secure as petrol, certainly not less than 50 years.
Currently there are more than 1,200 LPG refuelling stations in the UK, and this number is constantly increasing. For a full list of UK sites click here.
Converted vehicles can be set up to run on both LPG and petrol. The petrol tank remains in the car, and you can change from one fuel to the other at the flick of a switch.
LPG is renowned for its excellent safety record where storage, transport and use are concerned. As a vehicle fuel, LPG is as safe, if not safer, than petrol and on a par with diesel. In Vienna, all buses run on LPG; in 30 years of operation there has never once been an incident caused by the use of LPG.
The cleanest LPG vehicles registered on the PowerShift Register in Band 4 can apply to Transport for London to receive 100% discount on the London Congestion Charge (?8 per day w.e.f. 4/7/2005).
With more motorists demanding LPG Vehicles, more major manufacturers are producing them. including Vauxhall, Ford, Citroen, Diahatsu, Fiat, LDV, Mercedes, Nissan and Proton.
