Is It Better To Switch From Diesel To LPG?

We cannot stop the use of fossil fuels, but we can shift to cleaner fuels, that is LPG Gas for the automobile. The forerunners are petrol/diesel in the auto industry, however, LPG is becoming the next big thing for the automobile industry as most auto companies or governments are inclining towards cleaner energy. LPG has lesser emissions than diesel vehicles, it produces 96% less NOx than diesel and 68% less NOx than petrol.

LPG Gas is extensively used for domestic fuel purposes, but the introduction of LPG vehicles can make a significant impact on the environment. Being a cleaner fuel, LPG does not produce particulate matter or soot in the air. LPG is recognized as better fuel all over the world and it is used by millions of people worldwide.

A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health has some shocking findings on India's air quality Index. There is evidence of the adverse effect of air pollution on health. Around 77% of India's population is exposed to particulate matter air pollution. While the figures do paint a grim picture, change is the need of the hour, and immediate action is required for bringing improvement in the air quality standards.

One of the biggest drawbacks of using petrol in vehicles is adulteration. Diesel is usually adulterated with kerosene which makes it more toxic during combustion and reduces its octane rating, the rating that measures how likely petroleum can self-ignite.

Fuel Cost

The rate of fuel is soaring high. Recently, the price of fuel has gone up to 100rupees per liter. To keep the vehicle and finance on track, LPG is a better alternative. In terms of the cost of fuel, LPG costs little more than half the price of petrol and diesel. This means you can go more miles per gallon. The average price of Auto LPG per year is less than the price of petrol.
