Poland European leader in fuelling cars with liquid gas, converts increasing

Poland holds the seventh position in Europe among the users of liquid gas and is third among countries powering cars with that fuel. The Polish Liquid Gas Organization (POGP) provided such information in its report for 1999. The report also says Poland used 15% more liquid gas than in the previous year. Poles use it mostly for cookers, heating installation and cars. There was an increase by one third over the previous year in the number of cars powered by liquid gas. POGP estimates there are 470,000 such cars in Poland which is about 5% of their total number," said POGP president Adam Kubiak. He added, "if prices of other fuels will become more stable then the number of people wanting gas installation in their cars will drop." Most of the liquid gas used in Poland is imported, from the East. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 26) M.M.
