Did
you know that cars and other vehicles can run on LPG Autogas
as an alternative to petrol or diesel?
Driving
an LPG vehicle is safe, easy and, best of all, much cheaper
than petrol or diesel. Recent independant tests have also
shown that out of the three fuels, LPG is the best environmental
alternative.
This website
should answer any questions you have and provide you with
advice on how to purchase an LPG vehicle or how to have your
own converted.
The
Government continued to demonstrate its long term commitment
to LPG in the 2008 Budget when the Chancellor announced a
continuation of the existing guarantee for low fuel duty for
LPG through to 2011. The duty will rise by no more than 1p
per litre per year more than petrol or diesel. The rates announced
are:
- The
fuel duty increases planned for the 1st April will now take
place on 1st October 2008. At this time duty on LPG will
increase only by .135p per litre more than petrol/diesel.
-
As previously announced, on 1st April 2009 fuel duty on
LPG will rise by .035p per litre more than petrol / diesel
-
On 1st April 2010 all fuel duty rates will increase by .5p
per litre plus inflation. As a result the specific duty
rate will not be known until then.
- This
means that the price of LPG at the pumps should continue
at around half the price of petrol and diesel for the foreseeable
future.
