Increase in the number of LPG Conversions

Figures provided by Calor Autogas Development show a marked increase in the number of conversions to LPG as more drivers realise the cost and environmental benefits.
There are now about 155,000 LPG powered vehicles on the road in Britain with 17,000 of these being converted in 2008 which was an increase of 36% over the 2007 figures.
The driver of a vehicle powered by LPG can expect it to cost up to 40% less to run than conventional fuels and with high mileages can, in many cases, recover the conversion costs in two years.
Other benefits include up to 100% reduction in the London Congestion charge and increased residual values when the vehicle is sold. On the environmental front an LPG powered vehicle produces less of the harmful emissions that contribute to climate and health problems.
There are now more than 1400 public access refuelling sites across the UK with most of these being on filling station forecourts.
