Cars running on LPG

I have mixed feelings about 'biofuels', we inject bioethanol and biomethanol into fuels, this is classed as green, but is only done to achieve legislation and gain 'carbon credits' to avoid taxation.

Biomethane is obviously just methane (natural gas) that has been recently made from the decomposition of fresh biological material rather than much MUCH older natural biological material.

Biofuels are not currently economically viable, without heavy subsidisation and their benefits are most often not compared like for like against, so give a distorted picture of how green they are.

Biofuels are significantly responsible for deforestation of rain forest and food shortages in third world countries as land is being used to fuel crops and/or food is being bought by western countries from poorer countries as we turn land over to fuel crops.

Us westerners are obscenely wasteful with the limited energy resources and are indirectly driving famine and the destruction of the lungs of the planet and the massive biodiversity reservoirs contained there. And that on the back of near exponential overpopulation...

...basically, either way, unless we can get nuclear fusion to work, its looking bleak for the great great grandkids!

Won't be long before all these fuels are fazed out, see the hybrid threads on here and in the towing section. 

We still have a dual fuel car! Jeep Wrangler 4.0 litre. Goes like a bat out of hell, automatic switch over to LPG, no difference in performance, but of course the LPG price gives us equivalent of double, and sometimes more MPG. Tows great as well. We have a number of LPG outlets near us, and seldom struggle to find one when away. 

We had a dual fuelled Jeep Cherokee as well at one time. Saving on fuel gave us back cost of fitting for both cars, well within a year.

I take you are a non EHUer CJ? 

I stand corrected DD and I would say CJ is near the mark regarding the increased cost of LPG by government. A classic sting operation!
