THE petrol crisis led many to look for other ways to fuel their vehicles.

One option is liquid petroleum gas (LPG). City of York Council already runs some of its vehicles on the greener fuel and today Ryedale's first LPG pump was opened.

The fuel is considerably cheaper than petrol, but the expense of converting your car to use it means that few motorists have taken advantage.

However, the high cost of petrol might prompt more drivers to switch.

The fear then is that the Government will spot another source of revenue, and hike the tax on LPG too.
