Liquefied Petroleum Gas: Prices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help ensure that drivers of liquefied petroleum gas autogas vehicles pay competitive prices.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices at forecourts reflect fixed and variable costs, including international traded prices, distribution, staff and other forecourt costs. Vehicles powered by LPG benefit from a reduced fuel duty rate of 28.88 pence per litre (ppl) versus the main rate of 52.95 ppl. The Government’s Fuel Finder scheme will require all UK petrol filling stations to report if they stock LPG for consumer access. Motor LPG is subject to general consumer and competition law. The Government works with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to monitor competition in the market and address any evidence of anti-competitive behaviour.
