Save Money by Using Lpg
Converting your vehicle to LPG is a great cost saver, since the cost of auto-gas is so much less than the cost of petrol. Even with the rising tax on it, it will still be cheaper for a good few years to come. But how come LPG is so cost-efficient compared to petrol and diesel? This is because it is actually a by-product of the others. Oil companies actually use the gas as a fuel themselves.
Then they sell off the excess and the consumer wins with a cheaper fuel price. You can convert your present vehicle to gas and get a rebate of $2,000 from the government, which almost covers the instalment costs of $2,500. The bit left over can be recouped in about 4 months according to experts.
Buyers of new vehicles are not forgotten, with a rebate of $1,000 if their vehicle is LPG capable. Some vehicles cost more than $2,500 to convert, but it is still worthwhile. Conditions apply to the granting of the rebate. The vehicle must be for private use or light commercial of under 3.5 tonnes, be registered in the same state that the owner lives in and not be bought through novated lease.
