There are many types of fuel on the market today. Of course, we mean gasoline and diesel, but there are lesser-known alternatives like LPG and E85. However, today they are increasingly appreciated by motorists, for several reasons. This fuel is really much cheaper at the gas station and it’s good too more ecological, despite slight overconsumption in both cases. As a result, there are some very interesting savings to be made with this type of engine, especially since there are other lesser known tax benefits.

Payment gray card

In fact, not everyone knows it, but the gray card is generally free for cars running on this type of fuel. A real advantage for the owners of these cars, who can thus save several hundred euros, and this in most regions of France. But will that change? It would seem so. In any case, in Occitania. Since March 1, the region actually decided to pay for a gray card for vehicles running on HBO, E85 and hybrids. Thus, only electrical ones are exempted.

High price

Therefore, it is now mandatory to pay 200-400 euros register the car according to the engine. A hellish cost that compensates for the damage to the region. Indeed, the layoff cost the region at least 24 million euros each year. A huge amount, while it was understood that this event mainly stimulated the purchase of large SUVs. The funds saved in this way will be reinvested in the development of more environmentally friendly mobility.
