Lpg users are being cheated

[tuppies frie 10]

Hi there,

Is there anyone would like to join me in trying to stop the nonsense, of being charged full road fund license for lpg powered vehicles pre 2001 ?. Why should we pay the same as for more polluting petrol or diesel powered vehicles?

i thought uk laws where now allowed to be retrospective.

No not in this case! Doesn't matter if you keep an older vehicle from the scrap heap, cheaper road fund license stops at 2001.

Only advice I can give is apply for council free city centre parking if you have a LPG car

 

It's £10 a year and can park for free in all council city centre parking spaces !

 

 

Hope that helps

Why is your LPG-powered vehicle less/more polluting?

 

Does it not convert one Carbon atom plus two Oxygen atoms into one molecule of Carbon dioxide?

 

Did the rules change?

This is some strange usuage of the word, "Free," that I was previouslu unaware of.

ooh sciencey bit, its more carbon lite than petrol/diesel, produces LESS CO2 per mileage.

[rainbow_maid 10]

just googled it to get the facts and apparently produces 15% less. We have the free green parking scheme in Sheffield for only £10 per year, love it.

I suggest you 'Google' an engineering or chemistry textbook.

 

When hydrocarbon fuels are burned, the chemical reaction (that which produces the power) oxidises (burns) the carbon in the fuel to produce Carbon Dioxide.

 

If you disagree, please produce a combustion chart to support your argument.

'Cheeted' - I thought we were talking about 'a Tiger in every tank'.

 

What's the point of this thread?

When did Carbon dioxide become a pollutant?

 

 

Oh, I know; when the government decided they could tax it...

Hello again,

OK so at least I have some feed back, it;s the first time I have done this.

So the science bit is cleared, I must admit I didn't know the figures. What I do know, is the government rewards owners of LPG vehicles registered after 2001 only, if you car are van that nwas registered before that, tough! All I am saying if owners of newer vehicle can be rewarded, then why not older ones? After all a new car may only last 10-15 years after which it's added land fill, greenhouse gasses etc. My camper was built in 1989, and will last at least another 10 years with my care.

Yes free parking for £10.00 a year! Great try getting a 9ft high camper into an 8ft high multistory car park, we never park in town anyway always walk. You must understand, we do a lot for the enviroment, always walk or bus when we can, group destinations together into one trip if not. We also have solar, wind power, rain water harvesting for wc's and washing and are investing in a new gas boiler, that as a byproduct generates electricity. All we ask is for our efforts to be recognized.

Finally, please forgive spelling mistakes e.g "cheeted" there are more important things, such as fairness!
