What are the advantages of cars run by LPG over those by gasoline or diesel?

LPG cars cost a lot more to service and maintain my car is LPG and its a nightmare trying to get it mot'd etc etc as the test station needs to be certified to have a gas certificate like corgi. So they hike the prices up for us motorists, the garage that services mine and after speaking to a few friends who have both kinds of cars for you to actually save money you need to be doing about 20,000 miles a year. Its similar to solar panels a great idea but in practice far too expensive to maintain and convert. Performance wise there isn't really much of a difference. Also you have bio fuels aswell, but I read somewhere that they are even more harmful than oil as some of the rain forests are being cut down to plant crops to create bio-fuel.

You have already mentioned that LPG is cheaper. This is one of the advantages and second thing is that LPG is pollution free. In global warming era it is important that you much do something good to save this earth. I think LPG last longer than other fuels. Once you fueled up your car with LPG it lasts for a long period without any worries. It has lots of advantages but it might have some disadvantages. If your LPG cylinder has lick ages or any faults than please check it immediately because it leads to accident. Beside this there is no problem at all in using LPG. Have a nice day.

When my father converted his tractor from gasoline to LPG, the reason was simple - price. It was considerably cheaper to run the tractors on LPG. That was 50 years ago. I don't know about now.

I really think the only advantage to it is that its cheaper. Other than that it would be disadvantages already because most of the taxi's that I have asked only changed their gas tanks to LPG because its cheaper. Health wise, they would not advise people to convert cars just for only one reason.

hello money making today, Well, it could save a lot from additional budget for refueling your vehicle. but they're are some disadvantages. like if the terrorist wants to blow up a car or something it would be easy for them to use a light weight explosive since they can put that in the back of the vehicle adding that gas as an extra damage for bigger explosions.and it can be hazardous to some one's health. they should have conducted more study in terms of more safety procedures.

Hai friends, This a good topic to talk upon as the world is in huge Environmental Deficit.Cars usage has specially gone up in the present day scenario.The Carbon emissions made by cars is a MAJOR POLLUTANT to the environment we live in.So, let me give u all a crisp of Advantages we have by using LPG powered cars. Petroleum is extracted from high seas.This causes unstability in land and causes earthquakes.Petroleum/Diesel are Costlier when compared to LPG.Moreover,LPG Causes less carbon emissions.LPG is an Environmental friendly Source of energy.Delhi the capital city of India has also introduced LPG Run Buses.This is a big step towards Green revolution.Many Automobile companies today are providing Standard LPG Fittings to Cars.Government has also approved this type of energy source in vehicles.Not only LPG,we should also give attention to Bio-Diesel energy source as an alternative for diesel. I think its High Time for us to think about our Environment in which we live.As of today,Seasons are not rotating as before.Rains are not predictable.We are living in a Carbon-di-oxide air neither in Oxygen air. So,friends our Suo-Motto should be-'GEGO i.E., GREEN ENVIRONMENT-GOOD OXYGEN'

I think first one is pollution free and second thing is more millage if we use gasoline than petrol or diesel.

Well with respect to the price alone, there is indeed an advantage already if you are using an LPG. This is the reason why in our area most of the taxi cabs are using LPG. The initial investment is quite high since you have to do some conversion for the car engine to run on LPG which entails expenses. But of course in the long run, you definitely save money.

Hi friend...LPG’s simple chemical make-up means it’s clean burning, and, as it is already in gaseous form when it enters the combustion cylinder, it burns more efficiently than petrol or diesel. Fewer deposits build up in your car engine, so it will run smoother and last longer....

It is really a pain to install an LPG mod to your car but the long term savings will talk for itself. I have read somewhere that LPG modded automobiles packs less punch compared to their petrol counterparts. So to compensate for the lack of power, manufacturers should double the engine displacement. I think that's just all about LPG's i know
