Propane Autogas: Perfect for Green Thumbs in New York

Landscaping

When it comes to propane autogas, New York landscape contractors enjoy a win-win situation:: not only can they take advantage of cost savings for their truck fleet, they can also save a lot of green with every lawn they mow.

That’s because autogas typically costs much less per gallon than gasoline. Imagine that kind of savings for every gallon of fuel used in every piece of equipment by every crew that gets sent out for work.

As a matter of fact, landscape contractors who have converted their mowers from gasoline autogas have seen thousands of dollars of savings in fuel costs compared to what they paid the previous year. Imagine how fast those savings will keep on growing.

But the savings don’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.

The green scene doesn’t stop there. Autogas is about as environmentally friendly as fuel gets: compared to gasoline, propane generates as much as 60% less carbon monoxide. That’s better for your crew, better for our planet and better for future generations. Advertising your use of green autogas in your business can make a difference in building your business through the addition of environmentally conscious customers.

Reasons to choose propane for your landscaping business:

Less expensive than gas – Propane can reduce the operating costs of both your truck fleet and your equipment. You’ll reduce costs by at least 10%– and probably much more.

Tried and true – Top landscape contractors around the country trust propane to stand up to the toughest jobs daily.

Greener – Low-carbon propane often gives contractors an edge when they bid on jobs because propane emits far less carbon than conventional fuels.

Easy to Store and Refuel – Propane companies offer bulk on-site storage tanks or mobile on-site refueling options suit your needs and budget; both reduce your cost for fuel and labor while increasing safety.

Harder to Steal and Spill – With its closed fuel system, propane virtually eliminates costly, harmful spills and dramatically reduces fuel theft.

American-made – More than 90 percent of propane is made in the USA, and we have plenty of it. In fact, the US exports enough propane annually to run the nation’s entire fleet of commercial mowers.

PERC Grants – The Propane Education and & Research Council offers grants to convert a mower as well as funds that can be used towards the purchase of new propane powered mowers.

Many companies offer propane alternatives for mowers and trimmers. Why not connect with them today?
