Another move may anger motorists, though.

Some people have spent thousands of pounds converting their cars to Liquid
Petroleum Gas (LPG), but it now plans to "gradually increase the duty rate
for LPG over the next three years".


So we get to find out the actual figures in the budget. Great.

Road Fuel Gases 7.35
The duty on road fuel gases has not increased since Budget 2001, in line
with the
Government's commitment to freeze these duties until 2004 at the earliest.
Budget 2003
announced a consultation on how best to ensure that future support for road
fuel gases
continues to reflect environmental and other policy objectives. Following
this extensive
consultation, the Government has decided that the environmental benefits
offered by
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) no longer justify the level of duty
differential it currently
receives, while the long period of high duty support has allowed the
necessary infrastructure
to be developed. The Government will gradually increase the duty rate for
LPG over the next
three years, setting duty differentials on a path towards a level
commensurate with the fuel's
environmental benefits. Consistent with the Government's commitment to give
three-year
certainty on duty differentials for alternative fuels, future differentials
for the next three
years will be announced in Budget 2004.
