Positive Environmental Impact

  • Reduced harmful emissions compared to gasoline significantly lesssulphuroxides; carbon monoxide; particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide

Low Fuel Costs

  • Fleets operating LPG-based vehicles over the past eight years realized annual average fuel savings of 43% compared to similar vehicles based on gasoline
  • The above savings are netof the known difference in energy content propane yields approximately 76% of the energy values of gasoline or expressed another way, 1.3litresof propane yields the equivalent energy of 1.0litreof regular gasoline
  • Regulatory emission commitments in North America and the world are driving refining costs for gasoline higher and hence future gasoline prices could be forced higher which could further extend the current differential compared to propane
  • There are substantial facts and arguments to support the position that the current price differential and related historical economic benefit of fuel cost advantages of propane will continue into the future
  • The average savings with propane since January 1994 has been approximately 25 cents per litre on an energy equivalent basis under feasible and effective fuel procurement strategies
  • The average savings with propane since September 2011 has been approximately 50 cents per litre compared to gasoline in the Toronto area
