Thread: 77c/l up to 94c/l in one hit

Go and ask anyone who actually drives an lpg vehicle as to torque (think slow burn). As for safety have a bit of a think about tank thickness, tank placement, front and rear auto shutoff solenoids, tanks that can often withstand fire, fully closed refueling. As for emissions go look it up yourself.

Blip my arse.

I assume you are a fanatical diesel driver who has been running an LR at a higher cost than those that run LPG :; missing out on the v8 sound can make people bitter

Huh?
I didn't say anything about torque, tank thickness, placement, valves, fire or any of that rubbish.

What are you on about?

You asked for stats. I assumed you meant stats as to what I had posted about safety, torque etc...??? What stats do you mean?

Numbers of cars using each fuel type.

Correct so far, but I do own petrols every now and then.

My V8 rangie is attempting to bankrupt me, but that's another story. LPG cost here is around $NZ1.60/litre which converts almost exactly to what they pay in the UK. Unleaded around $NZ2.20, high octane another 6-10c/litre.

Long term I can only see the AU LPG price hitting parity with the rest of the world. That would be ~$AU1.40 at present plus/minus tax adjustment.

No stats about usage in that link.

This UK report has the interesting data on pages 22-23: http://www.ukpia.com/files/pdf/statsreview2012.pdf

It shows petrol consumption has been declining in the UK since 1990.
It shows diesel consumption has been increasing steadily but hit a peak in 2007 (GFC) and is now recovering to almost that level.
It shows LPG consumption declining since 2006. With a spike in LPG from 2000-2006 due to the london congestion charges (low emissions zone LEZ).

2011 sales in the UK (transport only).
Petrol ~19 billion litres.
Diesel ~25 billion litres.
LPG ~ 190 million litres
