lpg vs diesel

[woods]

Ran some figures:
Assume AUV consumes around 10 lkm/liter city, price of diesel 37
37 / 10 = 3.7 pesos per kilometer

Actual consumption of my cars 5 km/liter city, cost of lpg 25
25 / 5 = 5 pesos per kilometer

5 - 3.7 = 1.3 so diesel is still cheaper bec it is more efficient.

However, things start to get muddled when you take into consideration the cost of the lpg kit and the amount of money I will have to add after selling my car to get an AUV in good condition. Then there is also comfort, speed, maintenance and a lot of other factors. Ang gulo can't decide.

If we just forget about the additional cost, lets say they equal out, is it worth getting a diesel if savings is only around 13,000 (10,000km a year * 1.3) a year?

Also take into consideration that once converted to LPG ,fuel consumption will tend to increase.

For example , if you are running at 7 Km./Liter using Gasoline , once converted to LPG it will decrease to something like 4-5 km/liter.

The savings will then be manifested on the cost of fuel spent per kilometer.

Saving seems to be minimal since the lower cost of LPG was offset by the sudden increase in consumption.
