F1 – As far as availability CNG is pumped through pipes to premises all over the eastern seaboard. To my knowledge these pipes also criss-cross the country so it shouldn’t be a problem tapping in, whereas LPG is trucked around.
But I see your point – the Gov would certainly tax the crap out it.

Simon – I see your point about range; the amount of tanks required to give a decent range would, more than likely, outweigh any advantages.

Thanks again, guys.

Have you ever been out of the city?

Diesel is far more widely available, it has a much higher energy density per litre resulting in a far greater range. In all likelyhood, a bluemotion would offer twice the range of any equivalent LPG car and be able to carry a good load while doing it.
LPG has it’s advantages – ask any cab driver, but it’s not a fix-all.

CNG is indeed cheaper, but not supported at servos, while LPG is avail. everywhere.We make our own too, no money to be sent o/s.

You would need “PHILL” at home fill-up for CNG and then the GovCo will just screw us on the price and tax it to death [as they do]

If the euros would spend 1/100th of what they spend on diesel/ulp, we would have some amazing systems, for now its all up to the aftermarket guys.

Any which way I think the BlueMotion Passat (depending on price) would be a nice economical car. Looking forward to better TDI technology in the Transporters, though – maybe the 3 litre V6 from the Touareg/Audi.

One day these guys will discover THE CLEANEST GREENEST and CHEAPEST fuel worldwide, L P G
