You might not have heard the term LPG cars. This stands for liquid petroleum cars. These type of cars use a variety of different fuels with the emphasis based on propane, in order to get the cars to run. Other fuels included in the LPG cars include ethane and butane. This is a system that is used for heating in the United Kingdom and is now being used as a way to run cars that will be less costly to run as well as emit less toxins into the air. Liquid petroleum cars are better for the environment and are the latest in the alternate fuel cars that are being created to help the environment as well as combat the rising cost of oil.
There are several LPG cars already on the market today. The Smart Car is one such car that incorporates this type of fuel. The Smart Fortwo Cupe which is made by Mercedes is a very tiny car that uses electric as well as liquid petroleum on which to run. The Smart Fortwo Coupe is known as a city car, is used widely in both Europe and America.
The Vauxhall Astra is another of the liquid petroleum cars that are being manufactured today. This is a small family sedan that is larger than the tiny Smart Car and safe for highway use.
Mercedes is also coming out with a concept LPG car called Blue Zero. This small, sleek and clean burning car is inexpensive to run and safe for the environment. This is still in the planning stages, however, so you cannot yet purchase this liquid petroleum car.
