Are older vehicles fitted with LPG as environmentally friendly?
Based on the results of the Federal Governments own test programs which indicate that tail pipe C02 emissions produced by older cars (pre 1993) fitted with LPG are still some 14% lower than their petrol powered counterparts. ** Prices based on consumption data as per the NSW environmental Protection Authority’s vehicle emissions testing consumption rates (1996) and petrol priced @$125c/ Litre, LPG @38.9c/L. Fuel consumption of 13.5L/100km on petrol and 17.8L/100km on LPG traveling and annual distance of 25,000km. Data extract from the report ‘LPG the clean transport alternative’ commissioned by ALPGA Sep 2003, written by Peter Anyon BSc Mech Eng. Click here to visit this report on the ALPGA website.
