Is it convenient to use LPG with hybrid cars?

Model: Kia Niro SG2 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we will see if it is justified to install a LPG system on hybrid cars: the answer is definitely yes, but it depends on the engine. The economic savings are significant, but the complexity of the system varies: LPG costs half of gasoline, so combined with the low consumption of the hybrid, the cost per kilometer drops. Compared to gasoline alone, LPG produces less CO2 and NOx. However, the convenience depends on the type of engine: in engines with indirect injection such as the Toyota 1ZR-FXE the combination is perfect. The system is simple and inexpensive, widely used by taxi drivers, and the return on investment occurs after 30,000 km. In engines with direct injection such as the Toyota M20A-FXS it is less convenient but still advantageous. The system is more complex and more expensive, and during operation it requires micro-injections of gasoline: the return on investment occurs after 75,000 km. Remember that installing an aftermarket system on a car under warranty invalidates it. So let's be careful.
