LPG cars - cleaner on the road
Ownership of LPG cars is gathering speed. Did you know that over four million vehicles worldwide are now powered by LPG? - that number is increasing every day. So why have so many drivers switched from conventional petrol and diesel car driving to LPG cars, and why should you consider joining them?
We all know that using petrol or diesel can reduce air quality in cities and that the exhaust fumes contribute to the greenhouse effect. Filling your tank with LPG can help to reduce the impact your car makes on the environment around you.
For instance, LPG cars produce 90% fewer particulate emissions and 90% less Nitrogen Oxides than diesel engines. LPG engines produce 75% less Carbon Monoxide than petrol and have 87% less Ozone forming potential. If you spill LPG, it evaporates rather than soaking into and polluting the ground. LPG engines run up to 50% more quietly than diesel engines.
But what will helping to reduce pollution mean for you and your car?
Reduced vibration in LPG car engines, means longer engine life. As LPG is a gas in the engine, it doesnt wash away oil from the cylinder walls. Wear and tear on LPG cars cylinder bores is lessened. This means that you dont have to replace lubricating oils as frequently as on conventional engines. LPG cars are much cheaper than the equivalent petrol or diesel and there is often favourable tax or licensing concessions, which means running on LPG can save you money too. Crash and fire tests show that LPG tanks are safer than petrol.
In many countries, grants and subsidies help drivers convert conventional cars to LPG cars. In other words, LPG cars are a practical and clean alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles - and LPG is available now.
