Well I don’t know about other countries but in here (Eu/Romania) worth using LPG. It saves about 40% vs gasoline usage. The conversion kit cost only about 550 US $, manpower included. It come with a 2 years warranty. I have it in a Skoda Octavia I. Before it was necessary about 6.5 liter of gasoline/100Km. Now it uses about 7.8 L LPG. The LPG here can be bought for 2.35 Ron. The gas price is 5.10 Ron. I have calculated the consumption during the 8000 Km we made. translated to a gasoline consumption I got this value. Our car now consumes 4.2 L of gasoline equivalent. I added the gasoline price also in this value to cover the additional gasoline used for starting the engine. The speed we running the car is about 100 KM/H in outside roads and whatever speed you can have driving in the a city of 180 000.

Hi
I use lpg us fule in my car.with use Of lpg I can save about 60%.and its nice for pepole that drive long distanc spacial out Ofer city.I live in iran and this information is about this county.
Australian gov is a complete con job. We have our own lpg supply. And though its a cleaner fuel they discourage using it by allowing prices to sky rocket. What abosolut con artists. Gov knows that its tge lower class who 7se lpg hence their lack of concern and even extatic attotude towards price hike on lpg. We produce lpg and pay the worlds highest price for it. Can anyone smell the bulshit

Thoughts on diesel engines I can’t work it out?

If you ask to put LPG on diesel, the answer is NO, because of simply how the ignition works. LPG works only on petrol engines.

I run a 2009 FG 4 liter 6 cylinder Ford Falcon on liquid injection gas in Australia . Each time I fill the tank I put the trip meter back to zero. I write my km on my fuel docket. This vehicle constantly averages 8.5 km per liter. That is 11.76 liters per 100 km. At 60 cents a liter 100 km costs me $7.05. That is 7 cents per km. Petrol at $1.40 a liter at present $7.05 divided by $1.40 is 5 So It cost me to drive a family size car 4 liter 6 cylinder engine the same as a vehicle averaging 5 liters per 100 km. on average. By the way liquid injected gas has slightly more grunt than petrol so certainly no power loss. For those old school 100 km is 60 miles 5 liters is 1.09 gallons . to do 60 miles. equal to 55 mpg if using petrol.

I live in london where TFL have just ruled against LPG having any kind of exemption in spite of having much lower emissions than petrol and diesel and ZERO N2O which is typical of an autocratic ignorant money-grubbing organisation.

It is great information and clearly explained the difference between LPG & petrol vehicles. I was looking for this information because I am thinking to rent a gas forklift for my warehouse. Your post has given me great help..thanks for sharing it.

LPGs (Liquid Petroleum Gas) are regarded as cleaner, safer and cheaper to run than petrol vehicles. However, compared to LPGs, petrol vehicles are considered more reliable, more powerful

Your story is incomplete and not telling the real truth. If you believe Citizen khan of London then LPG would not be clean but he only want to charge congestion charges. I drive LPG for over 40 years and is and was always the cleanest fuel. My V8 5.4L van produce 0% emissions. Much more cleaner than EV’s how ruin the environment when digging up Lithium and disposal of the batteries

It sure was interesting when you said that LPG burns cleaner than petrol, and it is non-toxic and non-corrosive. My husband is actually planning to have heating oil delivered for his 4-wheeler truck and for our furnace tomorrow afternoon. It is important for him to choose a solution that is safer and cleaner since we have two children who are prone to asthma attacks.
Reply I drive 42 years LPG consumption is about 10% higher but very clean and with the price difference you don’t need 14000 miles. In Europe nearly every petrol station sell LPG. It should be more promoted by the government.
