There's no question that LPG is one of the most inexpensive fuels available, in fact the most compelling argument for switching to LPG is the economic one. Furthermore, due to its environmental benefits, the Government has agreed to maintain the low fuel duty on LPG for the forseeable future. LPG retails for approximately half the price of petrol which means that a vehicle using LPG fuel is between 40-50% cheaper to run than a conventional fuelled equivalent. For most people, the payback period is between 1 and 2 years although this is significantly reduced for high mileage vehicles.

The resale value of vehicles is generally enhanced particularly for vehicles with large engines. For example, in auctions LPG converted Range Rovers readily sell whereas standard petrol Range Rovers hardly have a bid. As the environment is getting higher on the political agenda various incentives for LPG fuelled cars are beginning to emerge, such as discounted car parking by local councils and some insurance companies are now offering discounts. |
