The acceptance of LP-gas (autogas) as a motor fuel in Europe depends primarily on price since the European driver is concerned with the financial savings it offers rather than the ecological benefits. Because LP-gas production in Europe is oil-based, the supply depends on the supply of crude oil from the Middle East. Thus the growth of the autogas market is limited; only a small percentage of gasoline can be replaced by autogas without a significant impact on the refineries. The maximum volume of the autogas market is 5% of the gasoline market. The price difference is based on the tax system, which favors drivers with high mileage: a higher road tax for autogas than gasoline, a lower fuel tax on autogas or none at all in some countries.
