Why aren't all cars LPG?

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

So, LPG is reet cheap. Why aren't all cars made LPG?

(I know the government would up the tax were it so, but nonetheless, why?)

In fact..can you buy an LPG new car from the showroom?

Don't Vauxhall, or used to, do dualfuel models from the factory? Saw an old chap filling a Mk4 Astra with LPG t'other day and had OEM looking dualfuel badges on it.

Aha.

LPG is cheap because as you said, the government don't tax it much, also, there is a lot less demand for it because not may people pay to convert their cars.

If all cars ran on LPG then it would probably cost more than petrol, even if the government didn't increase duty on LPG it would still see a huge price hike.

Yes, but in the meantime you'd think there'd be a lot more LPG offerings?

Petrol is also cheap, but as you spotted its taxed.

If we all moved to LPG, then the revenue will move with it, its as simple as that.

Yes, that's what I said...but in the meantime?
