The much lower cost of Autogas compared to unleaded petrol (typically half the price or less) means the cost of conversion is quickly paid back. For example if over the course of a year Autogas averaged 55 cents per litre, while unleaded petrol averaged $1.50 per litre, a six cylinder car driver travelling 25,000 kilometres a year on Autogas would save $2,600 – the equivalent of $50 per week. Assuming the system cost $2,500 to install, it would take just 12 months to pay for itself.

The Scheme provides a $2000 rebate for private motorists who convert a petrol-powered vehicle to run on LPG Autogas and $1000 for a new LPG vehicle.

The time taken to install an Autogas system varies depending on a number of factors including tank options, the number of cylinders and so on. A typical family sedan with a single boot-mounted tank should take one to two days, whilst a large four-wheel drive with multiple tanks might take two to three days.

Running your engine on Autogas is beneficial to your car. LPG is a cleaner burning fuel than petrol, so engine life is actually extended. Engine oil and spark plugs need changing less often when running on Autogas, so service intervals can be increased.

If you are spending $80 per week on petrol now, you’ll be spending $40 or less on Autogas. That’s $40 per week that stays in your back pocket.
