Future Fuel prices and policy effecting autogas LPG powered vehicles 

Proposed Fuel Price and Road Duty taxation

The Government continued to demonstrate its long term commitment to LPG in the 2008 Budget when the Chancellor announced a continuation of the existing guarantee for low fuel duty for LPG through to 2011. 

The duty will rise by no more than 1p per litre per year more than petrol or diesel. The rates announced are:

• The fuel duty increases planned for the 1st April will now take place on 1st October 2008. At this time duty on LPG will increase only by .135p per litre more than petrol/diesel.

• As previously announced, on 1st April 2009 fuel duty on LPG will rise by .035p per litre more than petrol / diesel

• On 1st April 2010 all fuel duty rates will increase by .5p per litre plus inflation. As a result the specific duty rate will not be known until then.

• This means that the price of LPG at the pumps should continue at around half the price of petrol and diesel for the foreseeable future.
  

London Congestion Charging, Discounts and the Low Emission Zone

Great news, Transport for London (TfL) July 2008:- 

The London Congestion Charge scheme has reverted back to the pre-Feb '08 pricing structure. 

Read The Telegraph and The Guardian coverage's of this change

LPG "Powershift" approved vehicles will continue to pay only £10 per year registration,  

all other vehicles that are not legible for discounts will pay £8 a day.

But they must be approved vehicles that have been converted by an approved supplier as listed on the Transport Action Powershift Register
