Gas or petrol: what can car owners in Ukraine really save on

Which cars are more beneficial for drivers - petrol or gas

According to hvylya.net: The Minfin portal reported that converting a car to gas will cost the owner at least 12 thousand hryvnias. These costs can be offset within 10 months of using the car.

Even if autogas is no longer as profitable as it used to be (when it cost twice as cheap as petrol), savings can still be made.

According to the information, gas consumption is 20% higher, but the car owner with gas equipment can save 24.26 hryvnias per liter. With an average monthly mileage of 500 km, the savings amount to 1,213 hryvnias.

Cost of installing gas equipment

• 2nd generation for 4-cylinder engine - about 8000 UAH
• 4th generation - 12-26 thousand UAH
• Premium systems - 30-40 thousand UAH

Additionally, it is necessary to consider the costs of certification (approximately 3000 UAH), re-registration of documents with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (about 900 UAH), and issuing a new technical passport - about 900 hryvnias.

The minimum costs for transitioning from petrol to gas amount to 12,000 UAH. These investments will pay off in 10 months if you save 1,213 hryvnias each month, but everything can change due to fluctuations in fuel prices.

The use of gas becomes unprofitable when its price exceeds 65% of the price of petrol. An increase in gas excise taxes may lead to a rise in its price, which will reduce the economic benefit of switching to this type of fuel.

Currently, there is also an age restriction for drivers in Ukraine.
