Commentary:

Thirty-six percent of respondents to Gray, Gray & Gray’s 2022 propane industry survey say their propane companies operate propane autogas vehicles. Regionally, the South reports the highest percentage of autogas users.

Marty Kirshner, partner in Gray, Gray & Gray’s Energy Practice Group, says those companies that haven’t adopted autogas should do so to qualify for the alternative fuel tax credit:

“Why keep fueling on diesel when you can fill with propane and get a significant credit from the government?” he asks.

The alternative fuel tax credit was extended retroactive for 2022 and through 2024.
