AutoGas is the name used for LPG when used as an alternative automotive fuel. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a blend of Butane and Propane or Methane and is the cleanest fossil fuel available making it the third fuel of choice around the world.
AutoGas is the most accessible and cost effective alternative fuel. Driving an LPG vehicle is safe, easy and considerably cheaper than driving a petrol or diesel model. LPG also emits less CO2 and far less other emissions such as NOx.
When used in vehicles AutoGas has impressive performance levels comparable to normal ULP fuels available whilst offering several benefits and savings on petrol engines.
WHY AUTOGAS?
AutoGas works as dual-fuel system with petrol powered vehicles. This means the vehicle can operate on petrol or AutoGas and switch between the two at any time. Vehicles have both petrol and LPG tanks. When an AutoGas filling station is not available or you run out of AutoGas, your vehicle switches automatically back to petrol. You can switch between petrol and AutoGas at the click of a button.
Having two fuel tanks also allows you to increase the range and distance traveled between fill-ups.

AVAILABLE
The supply of LPG is secure in the long term and 7 of 10 largest car manufacturers produce AutoGas vehicles.
GROWING
LPG is the most commonly used alternative fuel in the world and and increasing number of countries promote its use.
