TIFTON, Ga., Aug. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Georgia energy provider LP Gas Holding Company has partnered with clean fueling and conversion network Alliance AutoGas to provide local area fleets affordable, American-made propane autogas. In an unstable economy with gasoline prices averaging more than $3.50 per gallon, public and private fleets with tightening budgets can drive green and save money by shifting to autogas.
"LP Gas Holding Company has been providing clean-burning propane heating options to the local community for years, and now through the Alliance AutoGas complete program, we proudly offer propane autogas as a cost-effective alternative vehicle fuel," says President and CEO Dan Richardson. "It's more affordable to set up autogas fueling stations compared to other alternative fuels, and Alliance will install on-site fueling infrastructure at no up-front cost."
Alliance AutoGas is a growing network of propane retailers, equipment providers and certified conversion centers across the country that delivers everything fleets need to shift from gasoline to propane autogas. Alliance equips fleets with vehicle conversions, on-site fueling, safety training and back-office data integration, as well as the ongoing technical support to ensure a successful program.
"We are thrilled LP Gas Holding Company has joined Alliance to help ensure affordable, domestically produced autogas is available to our nation's fleets," says Alliance AutoGas President Stuart Weidie. "Between the savings, reduced emissions and comparative performance to gasoline vehicles, converting to autogas is a smart choice for fleets looking to boost their bottom lines in this tumultuous economy. And because 90 percent of the U.S. supply is made in America, investing in autogas also helps enhance our energy security."
Autogas costs $1 per gallon less than gasoline, and autogas vehicles emit 20 percent less carbon monoxide, 40 percent less nitrogen oxide and 12 percent less carbon dioxide than gasoline vehicles. Because autogas has a higher octane rating and burns cleaner than gasoline, vehicles require less maintenance, including oil changes, and have an increased engine life.
