We hate to rub it in, but autogas is $1.13 cheaper in some areas! How much can autogas save your fleet on fuel costs?
Autogas vs. Gasoline & Diesel prices in Asheville, NC
Let’s do some math.
Vehicle to be converted: 2008 5.4L Ford F-150 2wd
Miles driven/year: 50,000 mi
Miles/gallon on gasoline: approximately 14 mpg city
Autogas fuel economy: about 90% efficient as gasoline
Miles/gallon on autogas: 12.6 mpg city
So, given these facts, let’s see how much you would spend on fuel for one vehicle, using the prices from the picture.
50,000 mi on gasoline: $11,067
50,000 mi on autogas: $7,777
Fuel cost savings of $3,290 (per vehicle, per year)– the vehicle conversion cost has practically paid for itself in a year. And that’s not even including savings from fewer oil changes and decreased maintenance downtime. Asheville fleets have it pretty good over there…
