A few years ago I hired a car near Milan airport. I’m trying to recall the ‘gas’ fuel it ran on. It was duel fuel with some form of petrol/diesel which only kicked in when the ‘gas’ reserve ran out.

The gas wasn’t LPG. I’ve tried googling but can’t find an answer.

Anyone able to help? It was only available in a very few specific stations dedicated to only that type of fuel.

I've had a dual-fuel hire car in Italy that was GPL (LPG), but if it wasn't that, it might have been CNG - compressed natural gas?

Bingo. Thanks, think it might have labelled LNG but that’s it. Ta

No worries. Liquefied gas rather than compressed, then. It'd be interesting to know how much use those dual-fuel cars are getting - our hire company told us that since GPL was much more expensive than diesel, most people just fill up with diesel and use that.

I remember the CNG/LNG being incredibly cheap, but a complete bugger to find a refuelling station. When returning the car we had emptied the diesel and was down to 7 miles on the gas when we finally found a place to refuel. Talk about stress.
