Gas refueling, who does it yet?

Less and less motorists, according to the most recent LPG inbouwcijfers. According to trade association Bovag, there are up to October, 20 percent less LPG installations built-in compared to the same period last year. In fact, one late gas mass back build. In figures, this means that there are now only 173.151 a car with a gas installation, at least, number plates, zwartgasrijders are not counted). At the beginning of January there were 191.000.

The popularity of LPG has been on the decline, but thanks to a government that millions tried to save the MRB exemption of vintage cars to tyres, these old people rapidly stripped of their gas installations. After all, on LPG, they are more expensive in road tax than petrol.

“That oldtimers reason environmentally friendly on gas, and go now we have for pollution worry”, said the president of the somewhat biased Stichting Autogas in the Netherlands. A note where enough observations to place, but they have absolutely a point. Because the government is blind tail on the fluffen of electro – and hybrid-cars, the ultra-clean LPG fuel is ignored.

Oh, and if indignant LPG scraper to take revenge on the State you do so.
