Savings on fuel
LPG offers huge financial savings when compared with petrol, there is no denying this fact. However, LPG as fuel is not as efficient as petrol in terms of miles per gallon, so the best way to calculate savings is to estimate the cost of driving 1000 miles on petrol compared with 1000 miles on LGP fuel.
Fuel saving for drivers of commercial vehicles can be astronomical . A commercial vehicle with an annual mileage of 50,000 miles can expect annual fuel costs of £6,500 (petrol) or £5,356 (diesel). The average cost to cover the same number of miles with LPG is just £3,744.
