A GOLDEN opportunity to reduce car running costs running costs npl [of business] → gastos mpl corrientes [of car] → gastos mpl de mantenimiento running costs npl [of business and massively reduce pollution is being missed due to a lack of a co-ordinated approach to alternative fuels. The claim comes from CAP Monitor, an automotive trade guide to new and used cars. It is calling for the establishment of an industry standard approach to secure the long-term future of LPG LPG: see liquefied petroleum gas. 1.

It also wants a government promise it will not increase tax on LPG if it becomes widely used. Mark Norman This article is about the English banker. For the marine biologist, see Mark Norman (marine biologist). Mark Richard Norman CBE (3 April 1910-1994) was an English banker from the Norman family. , senior editor of CAP Monitor, says: "Wide variations in the standard of conversion are putting the image of LPG at risk. "It could well be judged by the performance of badly fitted examples - and if one of these goes seriously wrong negative publicity could bring the market down." The government says it is committed to creating a sustainable market for clean fuel and grants are available for up to 75 per cent of the conversion cost, or the additional cost of a new dual-fuel car - but no grants are available for cars over 12 months old.

"Vehicles with a good fuel system should be able to make a premium in the future. But without a clear government policy, motorists using clean fuel could lose out." |
