Duty
I found this on the internet....my guess is that you may be misinformed????
Did you know that cars and other vehicles can run on LPG Autogas as an alternative to petrol or diesel?
Driving an LPG vehicle is safe, easy and, best of all, much cheaper than petrol or diesel. Recent independant tests have also shown that out of the three fuels, LPG is the best environmental alternative.
This website should answer any questions you have and provide you with advice on
how to purchase an LPG vehicle or
how to have your own converted.
The Government continued to demonstrate its long term commitment to LPG in the 2008 Budget when the Chancellor announced a continuation of the existing guarantee for low fuel duty for LPG through to 2011. The duty will rise by no more than 1p per litre per year more than petrol or diesel. The rates announced are:
* The fuel duty increases planned for the 1st April will now take place on 1st October 2008. At this time duty on LPG will increase only by .135p per litre more than petrol/diesel.
* As previously announced, on 1st April 2009 fuel duty on LPG will rise by .035p per litre more than petrol / diesel
* On 1st April 2010 all fuel duty rates will increase by .5p per litre plus inflation. As a result the specific duty rate will not be known until then.
* This means that the price of LPG at the pumps should continue at around half the price of petrol and diesel for the foreseeable future.
