I am not saying the LPG will overtake gasoline as the fuel of choice for vehicles. I just mean that there will be MORE OPTIONS for motorist to choose from. And the power of choice is often overlooked by people.


i think sooner or later, the prices of gasoline shall be the same as lpg. di mo ba ina anticipate na pwedeng mangyari yun mr. ghosthunter?
I have thought of it long before you have considered it. But I have made an assumption. LPG is a price sensitive commodity which places some restrictions on the industry from raising the price too much. And even if gasoline and LPG prices would be the same one day, then that's the day I would remove the LPG system from my car. But like the price difference of diesel and gasoline, I think there would always be a sizable price gap between gasoline and LPG.


what if mangyari yun in less than a year? mababawi mo pa ba yung convertion expenses mo? just think of it.
Well, since I already converted my car and have recovered my installation costs, I am just happy driving along with the thought that I am saving money on my fuel bills.

Other people who want to stay safe by letting others be the "guinea pig" go on complaining on this and that reasons and when the "investment" does prove itself correct, they go on blaming others why they didn't encourage him to jump into it earlier.

How am I so assured that converting to LPG will save money? Simple, I did a feasibility study on the cost of the LPG conversion, costs of operation and on the past performance of LPG vs gasoline prices. Having that done, I made a simple short term projection of LPG/gasoline price difference vs cost recovery and gave myself a target, if recovery time goes down to 12 months or less, then I would deem it acceptable and go for conversion. It's very similar to doing a project study for any business venture, risk and all.

Of course some people are so "allergic" to taking risks and need to be 101% assured of being a safe decision that they simply end up not doing anything at all but gripe about this and that.
