In australia I keep seeing the petrol(filling) stations with LPG priced at about 50c per litre, and LPG i just found out is liquid petroleum gas...this lpg is a hell of a lot cheaper, and cuts emissions by 15%, my question i guess is why is lpg not used everywhere, does it have some sort of performance cuts...

 

lack of production i would think atleast, it takes a long time to turn over a refinery even after they commit to something new

plus i have no idea what the hell u r talking about, ive never heard of that type of fuel.

Currently, a number of automobile manufacturers—Citroën, Daewoo, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Opel/Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault, Saab and Volvo—have OEM bi-fuel models that will run equally well on both LPG and gasoline.Vialli have OEM LPG powered scooters and LPG powered mopeds that run equally well on LPG.

LPG is popular in Australia (due to it being less than half the price of petrol), with the four major local manufacturers (Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi and Toyota) offering it in some models of their locally made large family sedans. All are 'dual fuel' vehicles, with the exception of Ford, whose Falcon LPG model (the engine is called the E-Gas) runs LPG only. LPG is especially popular with taxis, with a large number of Australian cabs (typically Ford Falcons) being LPG-fuelled. However, whilst LPG is excise-free at the present time, there are plans to introduce an excise on LPG of 12 cents per litre (as opposed to the 38 cpl excise on petrol), starting from 2011.

This particular type of fuel also enjoys great popularity in Italy and Portugal, once again due to the fact that it offers a very cheap alternative to both diesel and petrol, being less than half the price of petrol and some 40% cheaper than diesel. The recent rises in oil-derived fuels has sharply raised the difference.
