What you need to know:

  • LPG or AutoGas, is a mixture of gases present in natural gas or dissolved in oil.
  • It has better combustive capabilities than regular fuel and is cheaper.
  • The cost of converting your petrol propelled car to LPG in Kenya is about Sh55,000.

As the price of petrol continues to rise, taxi driver Peter Githaiga says he has found a way of reducing operating costs.
