LPG cars and Tax

Ok, question, do LPG converted cars get lower tax costs (VED) due to lower CO2 output?

lpg converted cars almost always are still able to run on petrol. indeed they are normally required to start on it.

so i'm pretty sure the answer is no

my mums 4.0 V8 tax is still the same but it is like 10 years old.

so how come factory dual fuel cars get lower tax, they have to use petrol aswell, should the same rules apply to converted cars.

The answer is infact yes. If you have a post 2001 car and you have it converted to LPG you can send details to the DVLA and have it re-registered as an alternative fuel car. With this you get a nominal reduction in road tax.
