Is Autogas a “fad”?
No. Autogas was popular briefly in the late 70’s and early 80’s, but availability was very poor. The inconvenience of finding fuel tended to outweigh the savings from lower tax. There are over 1300 outlets selling Autogas in the UK, and more opening every day. Commercial vehicles have driven demand to the point where availability is now suitably high, and this encourages daily use in privately owned vehicles too. Although Autogas conversions virtually stopped in the UK in the early 80’s, the use and development of Autogas systems has continued in many other countries.
