 Better for budgets. Better for the environment. Whether you pit it against petrol or diesel, Autogas is the clear winner.
According to research in Europe, LPG vehicles emit 20% LESS carbon dioxide than their petrol counterparts. Carbon dioxide, nitric oxides and particulates are key contributors to problems like poor air quality and global warming.
The same investigation discovered that LPG is much cleaner than diesel when it comes to Nitric Oxides - it would, in fact, take around 20 LPG cars to produce as much NOx as is pumped out by just one diesel-powered car.
What's more, diesel vehicles give off far more fine particluates - around 120 times as many as an LPG powered vehicle.
Even aside from the emission of dangerous gases, LPG has many other benefits over the more traditional fuels.
- Noise from Autogas-powered engines is quieter than from diesel engines, keeping sound pollution to a minimum.
- Should a fuel spill occur, LPG will evaporate quickly - so there is no risk of ground or water contamination. The same cannot be said about petrol and diesel.
- LPG can be found naturally, as a by-product of the gas extraction process. Around 60% of the UK's LPG is found in this manner.
