LPG is becoming a more popular choice of fuel for motorists in today's environment, particularly since the introduction of the subsidy by government. Please find below relevant information regarding the benefits of lpg, along with some links to other information, including TACC member installers located around the state.

•     LPG is a clean alternative fuel. It is the lowest polluting transport fuel in Australia.

•     Current moves towards enhanced emission standards for vehicles (including Euro
      3 and Euro 4 standards) still maintain LPG’s position as a cleaner fuel than petrol
      and diesel (even where ultra low sulphur diesel is available).

•     New engine technologies are in continuous development for LPG vehicles to
      optimise the inherent environmental qualities of the fuel.

•    LPG environmental emissions are demonstrably superior to petrol and diesel in
     greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide) and in air quality emissions
     of photochemical producing compounds (such as oxides of nitrogen and
     hydrocarbons) as well as air toxics (such as benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde
     and 1,3-butadiene) and particulate emissions.

•   Health costs from LPG are substantially lower for LPG than petrol or diesel (even
    at fuel quality and technology levels which will be effective in 2006 and beyond
    when new emission standards are adopted).

•   Even where older technologies (such as retrofit engines) are being used in Australian
    vehicles the greenhouse performance of Autogas is better than equivalent petrol
    cars.
