LPG Consumption Facts

Understanding LPG Consumption

LPG consumption is indeed slightly higher than petrol, by about 10-15% by volume. This increase in consumption is due to the lower energy density of LPG compared to petrol. However, LPG costs approximately half as much per litre as petrol, which translates to significant savings for drivers. For example, if a vehicle consumes 11 litres of LPG per 100 kilometres at €0.98 per litre, the cost would be about €10.78.

Factors Influencing Payback Period

The payback period for LPG installation is influenced by several factors, including current fuel prices, annual mileage, and the type of engine. With LPG costing about half as much per litre as petrol, drivers can save ~35-45% on fuel. To get a better estimate of the benefits, drivers can track live fuel prices and use the savings calculator.

Choosing the Right LPG Kit

When selecting an LPG kit, consider the vehicle’s engine type and generation. The 4th generation of LPG kits, which features sequential injection, is the most common. For direct injection engines, the 6th generation kit with liquid phase injection is recommended. The prices of LPG kits vary depending on the vehicle’s specifications, ranging from €900 for a 3-4 cylinder Econom kit to €1900 for an 8-cylinder Premium kit.
