Popularity of gas as a fuel for the home and car continues to rise

Last year sales increased by 25% as compared to 2002 and exceeded 1 million tons. Total LPG sales, namely that used in cars and for heating, reached a record high and amounted to 1.7 million tons, a rise of 14% over the previous year. During yesterday's press conference POGP representatives emphasized that such positive results were chiefly the result of the increasing popularity of auto gas. Around 84% of the gas is supplied by foreign markets. According to sector analysts, this year sales will rise by another 10-20%. (Parkiet, p. 3) A.K.
