Lpg Or Ngv?

Featured Replies

hello all, i know this topic has been discussed many times but those threads are old already. and my case is little different.

i'm driving an old car, Lancer Mitsubishi which has 4g63na 2.0 Lit strong engine. since i drive around bkk a lot so wondering if i convert to LPG or NGV is worth for me.

But i can't decide which one to go for. I know quite lot about LPG. I know the LPG subsidiary is under jeopardy and may change any time. However, Government promoting NGV so converting to NGV could be the best idea.

But it cost a lot. around 50K. and i'm not sure it will be worth for my old car. I drive 60km a day on the highway. I plan to keep my car for next 3 years.

what you guys say? LPG or ngv and why?

thanks so much.

First find out where you can get NGV, not so many places i have heard (don't know where you live) cant be to much fun if you have to drive around looking for it

hi,

there is one station next to my place..always crowded though but many new NGV filling station coming up within one year...

but i'm not too sure whether NGV is good for my old engine...

NGV will not give you a very big range,,,,heavy tank as well,,, i have heard

Here on Phuket they done even sell NGV :)

Since you will be driving around Bangkok, as you stated in your initial post, you shouldn't have any problem finding an NGV filling station. PTT has many already all around Bangkok and has plans to build more and more in the future. NGV is also a very clean-burning fuel. So your engine should not have any problems with it. In fact it may even extend the life of your engine a little since it is so clean. You also won't need to change the oil as frequently as you would when burning benzine. It's really a matter of economics. If you think you will be driving your converted car enough to recoup the initial conversion investment, then it would make sense, IMHO, to go ahead with the conversion. Today gasohol 95 is about 38 baht/liter and NGV is less than 10 baht. At these savings per liter, it won't take long to recoup your investment.

Dont forget that LPG is a much cheaper conversion 15-20,000b
