The numbers at today's prices
Example: a car that uses 7 litres of petrol per 100 km uses about 8.4 litres of LPG. Over 15,000 km a year, the saving is about 3,973 RON a year at today's average prices.
To estimate the payback, divide the cost of the system (ask authorised installers for quotes) by the yearly saving.
What to know
- The system is fitted by an authorised workshop and the change is approved by RAR, the Romanian vehicle authority.
- The engine starts on petrol and switches to LPG automatically once warm.
- Not every station sells LPG: the eCARBURANT data lists 335 stations with an LPG price today.
- Some underground car parks do not admit LPG cars.
