Save money and the environment with autogas for your landscape business.
When it comes to autogas, landscape contractors are doubly lucky: not only can you take advantage of cost savings for your truck fleet, you can also save green with every lawn you mow.
That’s because autogas (liquid propane) is typically $1.00-$1.50 less per gallon than gasoline. Imagine that kind of savings for every gallon of fuel used in every piece of equipment by every crew you send out for work (better yet, don’t imagine…try out our fuel calculator and see how much money you can save by switching to propane). In fact, one landscape contractor whose mowers we converted this year has already saved $7200 in fuel costs during his spring cutting season than versus the same period last year. If that trend continues they could easily double that by the fall. Now that’s HUGE savings.
But the savings doesn’t stop there: because propane runs cleaner, you’ll spend less on maintenance and extend the life of your equipment. And just imagine all the time your crew will spend working rather than pumping gas over the course of a year.
If you’re into a different kind of green, autogas is about as environmentally friendly as fuel gets: compared to gasoline, propane yields as much as 60 percent less carbon monoxide. That’s better for your crew and the planet – and a great differentiator for your business in reaching more environmentally conscious customers.
