Pros and Cons of an LPG Converted Vehicle

Pro:

1. cheaper cost of fuel - auto LPG is cheaper by 12.60 pesos per liter at current rates (before EVAT). Although LPG gets less milage (per liter) than gasoline, overall the cost per kilometer with LPG is still much lower than with gasoline.

2. cleaner exhaust - as combustion is made easier for the engine due to the
type of fuel used, it is easier on the environment as there is less emissions.

3. dual fuel system -switch between LPG & gasoline anytime. Its even possible to drive from metro manila to baguio and back without refueling if you started with both fuel tanks full.

4. less maintenance cost - oil life is extended and the need to change oil less frequent.



Con:

1. limited refilling stations. NAIADSS will have 2 in November and a third station by December 2005. Petron will have 10 stations operational by Feb 2006.

NAIADSS stations: (for installation & refilling)
pioneer rd, mandaluyong city - November 2005
edsa ext, pasay city - november 2005
visayas ave, qc - december 2005

PETRON refilling: (currently operational)
petron station @ Valle verde 1 c-5 rd ugong, pasig city (also installs LPG kits)
petron station @ sen. gil puyat ave corner makati ave makati city


2. expensive LPG kits. its about P30,000 to P35,000 for a typical EFI engined car. Slightly cheaper for carb engines. Note: even if the kit is expensive, its still cheaper than buying a new fuel efficient car.

3. a major portion of your trunk will be used up by the LPG tank. approximately 1/4 to 1/3 trunk space will be used up in a typical 1.6 sedan
