Eco-friendly driving 'is cheaper'

Greener driving will save money as well as reducing climate change, a blogger has claimed.

The author, known only as Lee, wrote on TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk that eco-friendly driving "will save money as well as the environment".

Lee said that at his time of writing, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cost 57.96p per litre, while unleaded petrol was 117.64p and diesel 131.26p.

Although LPG does not equal the other two in miles per gallon, it is so much cheaper that LPG vehicles can cost up to 40 per cent less to run, he claimed.

Furthermore, lower taxes for green cars mean that LPG "tends to release around 10-15 per cent less emissions than a standard engine", which Lee said could lower a car by or two tax bands.

Greener cars are also exempt from congestion charges in London and have longer engine life, as well as better prospects for future resale as eco-friendly energy becomes more popular.

MPs recently called for drivers of gas-guzzling cars to be taxed more.

The environmental audit committee wants a "much more ambitious" reform of car tax, with greater difference between bands and more incentive to drive a greener vehicle.
