Fuel Price

The forecourt price of LPG is typically around half that of petrol and diesel so drivers and fleet operators can significantly reduce their running costs by switching to LPG. In September 2008, the average forecourt price of LPG was 58.7 ppl, Petrol was 112.9 ppl and Diesel was 124.3 ppl (Source: Fleet News 17/09/2008).

London Congestion Charge

Vehicles that are registered up to the 27th October 2008 with Transport for London will continue to receive discounts and exemptions from the charge until at least January 2010. The charge currently costs £8 per day per vehicle entering the congestion charge zone. For a vehicle entering the zone everyday this could represent an annual saving of over £2000.

Company Car Tax

CO2 emissions in LPG are lower than equivalent petrol cars thus pay less company car tax. On top of that, the government allows a further 1-2% discount on this tax when the vehicle is registered as bi-fuel.

Vehicle Excise Duty

LPG vehicles may be eligible for lower rates of Graduated Vehicle Excise Duty (Road Tax) as they produce less of the environmentally harmful emissions associated with traditional fuels. For example, a 1.8 Vauxhall Vectra running on Autogas would be liable for an annual duty of £115 compared with £150 for the same vehicle running on petrol, a saving of £35.
