» Considerable financial savings and a reduced carbon footprint?
If you’re not already driving an Autogas-fuelled vehicle you could be missing out on a number of benefits such as considerable financial savings and a reduced carbon footprint. But, as nearly all road vehicles can convert to LPG, the benefits could easily be yours.
By switching to Autogas you can make a reduced impact on the environment and a big difference to your fuel costs. And because it’s cleaner you’ll find there are financial benefits to be gained elsewhere.
- Lower emissions – compared to petrol and diesel, Autogas produces far less emissions and has less of an impact on the environment²
17% less CO2 than petrol
50% less NOx than petrol
120 times less small particle emissions than diesel
- Reduction in fuel costs - Autogas is approximately half the cost of petrol and diesel resulting in annual savings of around 40%¹
- No congestion charge – many LPG vehicles are exempt from the London congestion charge of £8 per day
- Reduction in company car tax - company vehicles with low CO2 emissions that are registered as bi-fuel are liable to a reduced rate of company car tax.
- Reduction in road tax – Autogas vehicles could be eligible for lower rates of Vehicle Excise Duty e.g. a 1.8 Vauxhall Vectra is £35 cheaper to tax than the equivalent petrol model.
- Reduced parking rates – some London boroughs and other local authorities have reduced parking rates for LPG vehicles.
- Due to its environmental credentials, Autogas enjoys a much lower duty rate compared with traditional road fuels. Furthermore the government has committed to limiting duty rises until 2014
Autogas is around half the price of petrol or diesel, with drivers also benefiting from cheaper car tax, lower fuel duty and reduced car-parking in some areas. Many vehicles that run on Autogas even qualify for a 100% discount on the London Congestion Charge.
LPG cars and vans emit far fewer harmful emissions than those vehicles using more traditional fuels – making it the cleaner, greener option. Not only that, but most are bi-fuel meaning you can still drive on petrol or diesel at the flick of a switch if needed.
If you want to join the 160,000 vehicles in the UK already running on LPG, converting your vehicle is easy.
