LPG Fuel Gets You a Motoring Discount.

Your own vehicle can easily be converted to run on LPG autogas by a certified installer. There are websites that can direct you toward the nearest Approved Installer so you can ensure that your insurance company will accept the conversion to continue coverage of the vehicle. If the installer who converts the vehicle is not under this approved list, it may cause problems with your insurer or with anyone who is interested in buying your vehicle in the future.

There are many sites online that allow you to find the LPG filling station closest to you. Usually they will include extensive lists of filling stations that provide the phone number, address, and operating hours of each location.

Throughout the UK there are over 1,400 LPG filling stations, not including stations operated privately by businesses with fleets of LPG vehicles. Major companies with international recognition, such as Shell and BP, have LPG stations in London. A few other stations in the area are operated by Jet and Sainsbury's.

Another advantage to LPG conversion is the discount that it provides for drivers in London who frequent the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ). In London, the CCZ charges drivers varying fees; however, converting your vehicle to LPG can make you eligible for a 100% discount. Vehicles driving into the zone must pay £8 per day if they enter the zone between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. This can add up to thousands in savings throughout the course of a year.

Overall, the environmental and financial impact of LPG is a significant one that is allowing it to catch on with more vehicles as time goes by. Although this petroleum technology has been around for over 60 years in one capacity or another, it has recently taken to motor vehicles because of recent concern regarding carbon emissions and climate change.
