Saving Money Makes Sense

The average cost of a litre of Petrol in Devon is £1.19.9p 
The average cost of a litre of diesel in Devon is £1.21.9p 
The average cost of a litre of LPG in Devon is 61.9p 

The distance travelled per litre of LPG is approximately 5% to 25% less than for petrol, this is dependant on three things, on the installer, and the equipment the installer is using, as well as LPG's lower volumetric energy density, but due to the much lower cost per litre, significant savings can be still achieved even compared with the latest diesels: 
  • Thousands of petrol stations throughout the UK now supply
  • LPG and converted vehicles can run on both LPG and Petrol.
  • LPG is cleaner for the environment with up to 70% less harmful emissions.
  • There is little to no reduction in power compared to petrol.
  • The cleaner burning LPG, is better for your engine.
  • Converted cars can run on LPG and Petrol - increased range between stops.
  • Improved saleability especially for large cars and 4x4s
  • Normally, there should be no change in premiums on your motor insurance policy if the conversion was completed by a UKLPG approved installer.
  • No-one can siphon your LPG tank. 
LPG Autogas Conversions are supported by the UK Government as well as the major Oil companies - BP, Shell and Calor.  Conversion charges start at just £1400 including VAT.  Our staff are Competent, Qualified, their work is regularly inspected, and approved by the UKLPG. You can check to see if an installer is competent and qualified by the new UKLPG website at www.uklpg.org.   UKLPG was created by the amalgamation of the LP Gas Association (LPGA) and the Association for Liquid Gas & Equipment Distributors (ALGED). We believe, like the UKLPG and Devon Trading Standards, that the quality of our conversions is important to you. Everyone knows you can easily make a a bad conversion using the best equipment, so when people work to a budget price, speed will be the first casualty, quality the next and then finally your safety.

That's why we would suggest that you visit and inspect the work of at least two conversion companies before you place your order.

Budget news April 2009 - Fuel Duty

Following representations by the Association we are pleased to advise that the Chancellor has recognized the difficulties facing the industry by not reducing the duty differential with petrol at the next increase announced for September 2009.
The government has also extended the time horizon on duty from 3 years to 5 years.

This creates a positive message of support for the industry and allows LPG to remain competitive in the market place.
The LPG differential with petrol to apply in the Budgets through to and including 2013 has been set. This will cover the period to March 2014.

There is also a commitment that in these Budgets, the duty differential for LPG will be reduced by no more than 1p on a litre of petrol each year. There will be an additional increase in fuel duty to take effect on 1st September 2009. Petrol will go up by 2p per litre but LPG will only go up by 1.425p per litre.
