It’s a fact. You can save up to 50% on fuel costs by running your vehicle on LPG, because LPG is generally half the price of petrol.
Depending on the type of vehicle, it can cost between $2200.00 and $3000.00 to convert your vehicle after government rebate. The cost of conversion can be recouped in as little as 8-12 months depending on the kilometres travelled.

It is important to choose the vehicle conversion option that will achieve the maximum savings.
There are three options when purchasing LPG converted fleet vehicles:
- Dedicated LPG vehicles – vehicles that operate only on LPG.
- Factory Fitted Dual fuel vehicles – vehicles which operate on LPG or petrol.
- After-market conversion – vehicles which are converted after purchase.
Dedicated LPG vehicles are usually cheaper to purchase than dual fuel vehicles, but may have a reduced resale value when sold back into the private sector. Reduced resale value will reduce economies of fuel savings made. Statistics have shown that 50% of conversion cost is usually recouped from the added resale value of converted fleet vehicles.
Historically the cost of after-market conversion has been substantially cheaper than vehicles purchased with factory fit systems. After-market conversion allows the option to choose the latest technology to provide optimum savings and efficiencies.
Due to the time frame of vehicle manufacturers selecting components and the actual release of the vehicle, the LPG system fitted to the vehicle may not provide the optimum benefits available.
