Ten Quick Facts About LPG Conversions
Introduction
LPG conversions have become increasingly popular for their cost-saving and environmental benefits. Here are ten essential facts to help you understand the advantages of LPG for vehicles.
1. Significant Fuel Savings
LPG offers substantial financial savings compared to petrol, although it may not match petrol’s miles per gallon efficiency. To gauge savings, compare the cost of driving 1,000 miles on petrol with the same distance on LPG. For commercial vehicles traveling 50,000 miles annually, LPG can cut fuel costs dramatically?"from £6,500 (petrol) or £5,356 (diesel) to just £3,744.
2. No Extra Insurance Costs
Contrary to popular belief, LPG conversions typically do not result in higher insurance premiums. A survey by the LPG Association found that the top 20 insurers cover LPG-converted cars, provided the conversion is done by an approved installer. Only two insurers might charge a bit extra.
3. Enhanced Safety
LPG is safer than petrol or diesel because it is stored in a robust, rigorously tested tank that automatically shuts off the gas supply in an accident.
4. Easy Refueling
With over 1,300 LPG stations in the UK, refueling is hassle-free. LPG pumps are similar to traditional petrol pumps and come with clear instructions, minimizing the risk of errors.
5. Global Popularity
LPG, also known as Autogas or GPL in Europe, offers double the mileage at the same cost as petrol. It's widely available in countries like the Netherlands, Serbia, Italy, Australia, Korea, and Hong Kong, with Armenia being a leading user.
6. Reduced Maintenance
LPG conversions lead to lower engine wear and maintenance costs. LPG burns cleanly, leaving no carbon or lead deposits, and helps prolong the life of components like valves and spark plugs.
7. Government Incentives
Governments offer grants and tax breaks for adopting eco-friendly fuels like LPG. These incentives include reduced duties and exemptions from congestion charges.
8. Flexibility to Buy or Convert
If you have a modern petrol car, light commercial vehicle, or a black cab needing a new engine, consider an LPG conversion. For diesel vehicles or older models that are nearing the end of their life, buying a new LPG vehicle may be more practical.
9. Maintained Performance
The idea that LPG conversions reduce vehicle performance is a common misconception. Any performance changes are generally negligible, and most drivers don’t notice a difference.
10. Environmental Benefits
LPG vehicles produce fewer harmful emissions, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, improving air quality and reducing health-related social costs. By adopting LPG, both individuals and organizations contribute to a healthier environment.
In summary, LPG conversions offer a cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fuels, with multiple benefits for both drivers and society.
