What is LPG?

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases (typically propane and butane). It is an alternative fuel to gasoline or diesel, which is cheaper and environmentally friendly.

Why choose an LPG car?

  • Save on fuel expenses - the price per liter of LPG is about 50% of gasoline.
  • Win in autonomy - with the combined between petrol / diesel and LPG, your vehicle can do more than 1000 km without having to refuel.
  • Help protect the environment - the LPG vehicles emit no harmful particles and emit less greenhouse gases like CO2.
  • The vehicles are LPG bifuel, ie they can walk on LPG or petrol / diesel.

Other advantages in converting a vehicle to LPG

  • The performance of a vehicle powered by LPG are identical to the corresponding gasoline version.
  • LPG reduces engine wear, ensuring greater durability.
  • LPG is a fuel and a safe technology, widely circulated and with proven results.

Traveling to LPG is cheaper than gasoline and diesel

Spending on fuel are a major part of what we invest to buy a car. The MasterGás understands that and puts forward a workable solution. LPG is a proven fuel economy, whose reference price is about 50% of gasoline.

Ecology

By opting for a conversion of your vehicle to LPG is not only to reduce their fuel bill. Is also taking an option for the environment:

  • CO2 emissions are on average 15% lower than gasoline.
  • No harmful particles are released.
  • emits significantly less carbon monoxide, NOx and hydrocarbons - nearly 50% of what is emitted by gasoline and approximately 10% of what is emitted by diesel.

LPG is easy to use

  • Have the LPG tank (toric in the area of the spare tire in the trunk or cylindrical). So in total they have 50% more range than a conventional car.
  • The converted vehicles can ride on LPG or petrol / diesel - switching between the two is done automatically or with the touch of a button - no need to stop or turn off the engine.
  • When the LPG tank is empty, the car automatically switches to petrol / diesel, allowing you to keep going smoothly.
  • The performance of vehicles with LPG versions remain unchanged in the face of petrol / diesel.
  • LPG is a liquid fuel - its supply is fast and simple, made similarly to a car petrol / diesel.
  • The deposit for LPG is fitted in place of spare tire - so boot space is unaffected.
  • There are currently more than 300 filling stations with LPG. National coverage for a proven fuel.

LPG Myths:


Myth: The LPG cars are dangerous.

Myth: The maintenance of LPG is expensive.

Answer: Periodic maintenance is required, but the lesser effect of wear on the engine offset the cost in reviews that plague the average € 50.00 / 20,000 Km


Myth: LPG affect performance.

Answer: In some cases the power loss can reach up to 5%. In most cars there is any loss, circling the GPL.


Myth: LPG vehicles have little space in the boot.

Answer: Depends on which deposit option. Most people opt for a deposit on toric zone spare tire, which causes the vehicle not miss boot space.


Myth: You must go through many Kms to recover the money invested.

Answer: On average, gasoline in cars, to recover the money invested to 30,000 km traveled. To simulate click here.
