Right on. Thailand's taxi cabs have been using LPG for 15 years. Now they have over a million cars with LPG a and LPG stations are commonplace. The cost of running a car on LPG a is a fraction of the gas mode. Why does Europe and USA not follow?? Good questions to ponder. en.m.wikipedia.org Autogas is the common name for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) when it is used as a fuelin internal combustion engines in vehicles as well as in stationary applications such as generators. It is a mixture of propane and butane. Autogas is widely used as a "green" fuel, as its use reduces CO 2 exhaust emissions by around 15% compared to petrol. One litre of petrol produces 2.3 kg of CO 2 when burnt, whereas the equivalent amount of autogas (1.33 litre due to lower density of autogas) produces only 1.5 * 1.33 = 2 kg of CO 2 when burnt. [1] It has an octane rating (MON/RON) that is between 90 and 110 and an energy content ( higher heating value—HHV) that is between 25.5 megajoules per litre (for pure propane) and 28.7 megajoules per litre (for pure butane) depending upon the actual fuel composition. Autogas is the third most popular automotive fuel in the world, with approximately 16 million of 600 million passenger cars powered using the fuel, representing less than 3% of the total market share. Approximately half of all autogas-fueled passenger vehicles are in the five largest markets (in descending order): Turkey, South Korea, Poland, Italy, and Australia. [2]
