LPG pricing (1 Viewer)

Yes. Bit of a fiddle with the adapter but the forecourt attendant was very helpful.

And I thought £1.19 was dear !!!!! Lordy

A campsite owner last week in Scotland told me he was charging £8 per night for hookup, but this price is hidden in the £33 per night cost, do you still think that £1.19 per litre is expensive. A litre of gas could heat you MH for a couple of nights I should think

You must have your thermostat down low.

We pay 54p at home.

Possibly a daft question - all my others have been - but is there no way to get home delivery LPG into your MH refillables?

I've not had breakfast yet ...

You would have to fit a filler hose to your home lpg tank.

Jesus ........ 11kg (21.65ltrs) in two weeks in the summer, that will last us nearer 5 weeks in the summer.

What do you use it for and do you use EHU?

I'm talking off grid, me and the wife shower everyday, we cook most days, gas fridge 24/7..... and actually I meant Autumn but in Southern Europe so not much heating use.. We stay home in English summer.

You would also need a high pressure pump because the pressure in the home tank will be the same as in the cylinder and it will not flow from one to the other without pumping.

Normally offgrid and never use EHU if it's an extra cost as we have over 400watts of solar on the roof and a 200watt fold-out panel.
We shower every other day, cook most days and have increased the lagging on the oven as the original lagging was woefully poor and using more gas than was needed, and yes, our full height fridge/freezer (155 litre capacity) which I have increase the insulation on, is on 24/7.
Heating is by a Chinese diesel heater

My bad. A friend fitted a filler nozzle to his oil tank. I must have been thinking the same. Now why he would fit a filler hose on his oil tank. I ave never found out.

There are 2 4000l communal tanks. We are on a meter.

There is a whisper that I've heard a few times now. But ask me to back it up and I will deny it. One of the major clubs is at an advanced stage of discussions to have LPG pumps fitted on their sites

For the amount we use, I won't go out of my way to save a few quid, I will pay what ever it costs. On the scale of everything else we buy, at £1.45 a litre it's not a lot.
Two coffee's £7, two beers £9-£11, 2 slices of cake £7.
I'm just grateful that we can still get lpg

I couldn't agree more

42p a litre in Turkey, 0.83 euro in Greece. And nearly every petrol station sells it.

Just goes to show that the UK despite being smaller than most European countries has managed to manipulate enough people away from lpg powered vehicles to cause the removal of it from forecourts.

You see a lot more older vehicles on the road in Europe too. Yet apparently the climate change goals were Europe wide.

Anyone else think that's strange?

The UK energy policy looks very confused to me. At one stage diesel was encouraged but then they realised that the NOx and particulate pollution from diesel was extremely bad and affecting peoples health. The ridiculous thing is that lpg is the least polluting of the fossil fuels. All fossil fuels are bad producers of CO2 but at least lpg has lower NOx and particulate emissions than either diesel or petrol. The cynic in me says it might have something to do with tax revenue, Government pledged to keep tax on lpg lower than petrol and diesel but if it gets too popular as a road fuel they lose money.

It's never actually about the climate its ALWAYS about the money. The last diesel cars I had were deemed so low on emissions they cost £20 a year to tax them . The UK government would have us believe the UK is going to solve climate change single handedly.

Wait till they start taxing the ev's

If this were to happen it would be very interesting. If it was the CAMC they would no doubt insist on you staying the night and pay for hook up. The ccc might take a more sensible view.

Recently had MOT and the emissions were so low it didn't go high enough on the machine to register
