LPG fuels and methane

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) an alternative to petrol and diesel

distributor lpg

LPG has always been the alternative to petrol since the 1950s and has had mixed success over time.

In fact, in the 1950s, 3% of the cars in circulation were fueled by gas, but then in the 1960s with low-cost gasoline around 90% of the distributors closed.

The austerities of the 1970s brought LPG back into vogue, which was promptly put down thanks to the excise duties applied on gas for transport, which tripled its cost in a month.

It will have to wait until the 90s for interest in the product to revive and in the 2000s the same car manufacturers pushed for the introduction on the market of cars that come off the assembly line already adapted to LPG.
