LPG Installation

Save On Fuel Expenses - Make The Switch To LPG

LPG is typically at least 50 percent cheaper than other automotive fuels, meaning you can achieve significant savings from day one, and recover the cost of a conversion in a relatively short period of time.


Example

Assuming over a year that LPG averaged 65 cents per litre while unleaded petrol averaged $1.25 per Litre. An average Commodore or Falcon traveling 15,000 kilometres per year would save around $24 per week on fuel.


Typical conversion costs range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the type of vehicle.


LPG Grants

In the 2009 budget, the Treasurer made slight changes to the grants for LPG conversion. Whilst the Federal Government has announced some changes, the LPG rebate scheme will still provide support for LPG conversions in the years ahead.

Essentially the grant for factory vehicles remains as is but the grant for retrofit vehicles is gradually being reduced by $250 per annum over the next 4 years starting 1 July 2009. By 2012 the grant will be $1000 and the OEM Factory LPG rebate will remain at $2000.

The government has also now provided a written commitment to continue the scheme for another five years until 30 June 2014.

Furthermore the Federal Government also announced that small businesses will now be able to claim a bonus tax deduction of 50 per cent - up from 30 per cent previously of the cost of eligible assets acquired between 13 December 2008 and 31 December 2009, and installed by 31 December 2010. This has the added advantage of small businesses potentially claiming 50% of the LPG conversion cost on eligible company vehicles up to December 2009.

 

Key Points

From 1 July 2009, the LPG Vehicle Scheme will provide grants for conversions of private use vehicles at the following rates...

1. $1,750 for conversions 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010

2. $1,500 for conversions 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011

3. $1,250 for conversions 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012

4. $1,000 for conversions 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2014

New private use vehicles fitted with an LPG unit prior to first registration will receive a grant of $2,000. This grant will remain at $2,000 for the life of the Scheme.

What Do You Need To Claim You Grant?


From 1 February 2009 applicants for LPG grants are required to provide certified copies of 3 categories of supporting documents as follows:

  1. Current driver's licence (new requirement)
  2. Vehicle registration papers
  3. Proof of payment for LPG conversion or proof of payment of a new LPG vehicle
