With the 1st September fuel duty changes nearly upon us, and following renewed commitment for LPG autogas in the last budget, LPG autogas is increasingly becoming not just an environmentally beneficial alternative but the choice for cost effective motoring.
Based on the latest prices LPG autogas will save you 50 pence per litre at the pump, this is good news for the consumer as petrol prices are set to rise again according to the AA. Following an increase of 1.5p in the last month, AA Public Affaires head Paul Watters recently said: “At the start of next month, a new fuel duty increase will add another £1 to the cost of filling a typical petrol or diesel tank.”
Based on the latest prices the cost of filling up an average tank (55 litres) today* is only £21.20 in comparison to its petrol equivalent at £41.60. With the budget commitment for LPG already set for the next 5 years you can continue to enjoy 50 pence per litre saving following September 1st and for the foreseeable future.
“The budget commitment provides a great financial motivation for people to convert to LPG, and in an uncertain climate knowing that you can continue to save money on your fuel bills is very important, especially knowing that you are also doing your bit to help the environment,” said Mike Chapman, Autogas Manager of UKLPG.
