Save Money!

Compared to other fuels , LPG is 50% cheaper.

Meaning the savings are huge!

LPG conversion is the way to go. Using LPG , a Holden Rodeo utility traveling 40,000 kms a year on Autogas would save its owner $3,562 a year or $68 a week!
Typical conversion costs range from $2800 to $5,000 depending on the type of vehicle. However, the costs can be recouped in as little as 18 months thanks to the savings made at the pump every time you fill up. Once you recover the initial conversion costs the savings mount quickly.

Here’s a typical example based on average fuel prices for November 2008:

a Distance travelled per year = 30,000 km
b Petrol consumption = 13 litres/100km
c Petrol price = $1.19/litre
d LPG consumption* = 16.9 litres/100km
e LPG price = $0.69/litre
The steps to determine your savings are:

ANNUAL PETROL COST
= Petrol Consumption (litres) x Petrol Cost (per litre)
= a / b x c
= (30,000km / 100 x 13 litres) x $1.23
= $4,797 per year

ANNUAL LPG COST
= LPG Consumption (litres) x LPG Cost (per litre)
= a / d x e
= (30,000km / 100 x 16.9 litres) x $0.43
= $3,498 per year

SAVINGS = Annual Petrol Cost - Annual LPG Cost
= $4,797 - $3,498
= $1,299 savings per year
= $24.98 savings per week
