Quality and consumption of LPGThe quality demands on LPG are stipulated in the EN 589 standard uniformly across
Europe and therefore ensure a cross-border use without any problem.
There is a distinction between winter LPG and summer LPG. Winter LPG has a higher
percentage of propane. This can cause your vehicle to have a higher consumption with
winter LPG than with summer LPG.
The consumption is around 10 - 15 % higher than when using petrol for the same style
of driving.
