LPG? Here it is taxed at a much lower level. Conversions on older
vehicles run about 800pounds and older, larger vehicles are
(comparatively) very cheap. Plus emissions are lower. Win, win, win.
What I meant is "am I missing something obvious" in the math that
indicates when gas prices are rising ...
Four gallons at $0.05 per gallon increase plus
Four gallons at $0.10 per gallon increase plus
Four gallons at $0.20 per gallon increase
... costs less than driving until the tank is empty and buying ...
Twelve gallons at $0.20 per gallon increase
An additional $1.40 vs an additional $2.40
LP Gas or some new vehicle is not an answer to that short term problem,
i.e. how to minimize the cost effects of the rising prices.
The life cycle costs installing an LP Gas conversion or buying an
additional vehicle wipe out any savings and incur additional costs up
front exactly when I'm trying to reduce costs.
That's being "penny wise and pound foolish."
I've got the car I'm going to stick with until it's paid for and until
I've got FULL VALUE out of it. I simply don't have the money to buy an
additional vehicle at this time.
