The Financial Benefits of LPG

There are substantial financial benefits to L.P.G. fuelled vehicles including cheaper fuel, congestion charge exemption and lower road fund licence (road tax). The prices of LPG fuel are much lower than that of petrol and diesel costing around 45p per litre as opposed to 89p for petrol and 92p for diesel (prices correct at time of publication).

As L.P.G. fuelled vehicles are exempt from the London Congestion Charging scheme regular drivers in London will save £8 per day. In order to achieve exemption from the congestion charging, the vehicle must adhere to a 40% better than Euro IV emissions standards which also means that the vehicle is eligible for a lower banding of and therefore cheaper Road Fund Licence (Road Tax). The current RFL payable on a light goods vehicle is £165 and with the Euro IV compliant fuelled van is £110. This all in all means that by driving an LPG van could potentially save you over £3500 per year!
