Liquified petroleum gas Summary |
 | | Liquified petroleum gas (also called liquefied petroleum gas, liquid petroleum gas, LPG, LP Gas, or autogas) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles, and increasingly replacing chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant to reduce damage to the ozone layer. |
 | | LPG is manufactured during the refining of crude oil, or extracted from oil or gas streams as they emerge from the ground. |
 | | LPG is popular in Australia (due to it being less than half the price of petrol), with the four major local manufacturers (Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi and Toyota) offering it in some models of their locally made large family sedans. |
