The
costs are dependant on many factors, tank size, location, and complexity
of system required for the vehicle to be adapted.
Over
the years Autogas 2000 ltd has been able to provide us with comprehensive
details of vehicles already converted, and which kit has suited that particular
model the best plus the variations of tank sizes that will fit.
A
typical midrange example would be a 1994 VW Vento with a donut tank installed
in spare wheel well using Tech 97 closed loop system. The cost of this
system would be around £1200.00 + VAT
Fuel
Savings are in the region of £1,500.00 per annum on every vehicle you
run.
Currently
any fleet manager, Local Authority or company switching to a back to base
fuel strategy with Autogas can cut fuel costs by up to half. Here we’ve
analyzed typical savings on a car and van.
The
cost savings achieved by using Autogas can be significant even if the
vehicle is not running on Autogas 100% of the time - as illustrated by
these tables. The savings are even greater if the vehicles are benefitting
from bunkered fuel prices.
Autogas
gives slightly less mpg, as the calorific value of the fuel is lower,
but the difference in consumption is insignificant compared with the fuel
cost savings. Autogas is pilfer proof, so there are no thefts to consider.
Autogas
is clearly one of the most economical fuels you can use. But its no longer
just an issue of costs, with the government imposing anti-pollution legislation
that will penalise polluting vehicles, its also important that your fleet
is running as clean as possible.
