Saving Money Makes Sense
The average cost of a litre of Petrol in Devon is £1.359p
The average cost of a litre of Diesel in Devon is £1.409p
The average cost of a litre of LPG in Devon is £0.72.5p
prices as per 16/05/2013
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:

Could you save £12,000 in 2.5 years Like this customer
Rad Couriers Tel 07854 610134 is an independent Courier based here in the south west, run and owned by Mr Richard Arbuthnot. His company′s van, a petrol Peugeot Partner 1.6lt that was converted to LPG by Gas power UK Ltd has to date saved him over £7,000 in fuel costs compared with diesel and over £14,000 in fuel costs when running on LPG instead of Petrol. This was achieved after 2.5 years and around 240,000 miles
When he first looked into running his courier van on LPG he was unsure which equipment to use and it was a choice between one of the inexpensive systems that are coming onto the market that have no track record, or a reputable top end system with the back up to match it.
Richard decided to go with a BRC system. Price was not the only consideration, as a Courier company down time was also a consideration, what was the backup between inexpensive system, and the BRC system, what were the chances of the reducer failing, or the injectors failing, and what would happen if the vehicle developed a fault when he was miles away from Exeter and Gas Power UK Ltd. Luckily he chose BRC and the national back up from the BRC agents.
What about the wear on the engine? surely a van after that mileage is doomed to the scrap yard? No, not in this case. We can report that during his 239,322 miles his emissions at 2000 rpm are as follows: CO=0.00% HC = 6 ppm CO2 = 13.90% O = 0.08% and lambda 1.00. Not bad for a van that has nearly done a quarter of a million miles on LPG.
When questioned about his views on the Peugeot vans reliability he stated that the only things that seem to be failing are the sensors on the petrol side, the BRC autogas equipment has been totally reliable with only the filters needing to be changed from time to time.
From our calculations having his van converted to lpg has not only saved him the cost of the conversion but in 2.5 years he has run this vehicle on LPG he has paid for the cost of the van as well.
