ADVANTAGES of LPG Auto
-
It contains very little carbon, so LPG vehicles produce almost 50% less CO2 than petrol. However, nitrogen compounds are comparable to petrol
-
Provides an even firing charge for multi-cylinder engines
-
Has very high compression ratios
-
It has very high anti-knock characteristics
-
Its calorific value is almost 80% compared to petrol. However, the very high octane number compensates for the thermal efficiency
-
Research shows that using it saves almost 50% of the cost of petrol
-
The engine can last 50% longer
-
Due to the absence of carbon deposits, spark plug life is increased
15 million cars run on LPG in the European Union. Worldwide, there are 27 million and, it has to be said, a dual-fuel system has a lot of benefits. Let's start with the most obvious: you can fill up at half the price! The major advantage of LPG is the price at the pump: in general, 1 litre of LPG costs up to 50% less than a litre of petrol or diesel. Because it produces less energy than the same volume of petrol or diesel (about 20% less than petrol, for example), fuel costs are 30% less than a petrol engine and 8% less than a diesel engine. On average, LPG is available at 1 in 4 petrol stations in Europe
