autogas
Liquefied petroleum fuel
Autogas is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used as vehicle fuel, an alternative to gasoline or diesel.
It burns cleaner than conventional fuels and is typically cheaper, though vehicles require special tanks and fuel systems.
Common in parts of Europe, Asia, and Australia where infrastructure supports it: The taxi fleet runs on autogas.
