Before it closes !
Just noticed there is a grant aided system to convert taxis in Scotland to lpg . Company has gone breests up but process will probably continue . What it will mean is more [certainly not fewer] lpg outlets in Scotland

The scheme is aimed at Taxis in LEZs. In practice this means big cities only and I doubt there will be extra outlets in the more rural areas.
Current advice to taxi companies impacted by the company's liquidation is to change to EVs.

Not financially feasible for many . Quite a few already converted to lpg . Don't think its an unusual solution . Most taxis in Seville run on lpg .
Possibly rural outlets for lpg are not financially feasible either . Are there many ?

A little tester for you - our local LPG supplier in Edinburgh 90p/l

Answer new bigger 10,000 litre tank!
Teaser / puzzle - what size are the existing LPG tanks in litres?
What volume of LPG does he go through per week?
An aside -
He supplies 60 ex diesel taxis that were converted to run on LPG at a grant of £12,000 per car - how AND HOW MUCH I hear you ask?
Easy rip out diesel install petrol engine with LPG conversion
The same was done in Birmingham or Manchester.

Better than removing them I guess. Absolutely hopeless down in Cornwall. I think there are three. One is out of order (or it was the other day), one only takes small vans and the other the Nursery at Redruth is flipping excellent and free water but thats it! Ill top up there again on the way up to North Devon but literally nothing else between Penzance and Ilfracombe.

The thing you have to do now is use the online resources and phone ahead when there is little choice and carry a Calor backup. Worked for us so far in the south west over two months. Had to use and replace the Calor once though as simply no LPG otherwise.

why they are doing it? you paid it, didn't you?
Oil prices are at significant low right now so prices should be dropping. I paid a fair bit less per litre for kerosene recently compared to 6 months ago.

No, I was shopping in the car.
I did pay it up in Scotland in Morrisons Livingston as I couldn't find better on any of the apps, but on our way home I filled up for £089.8 just off the M6.

When it comes down to it, people would typically top up their LPG when they filled up with Diesel regardless of the price, so it seems a good business choice.
I did a Excel spreasheet a while back to work out the cost-effectiveness of travelling to cheaper LPG stations and in reality, paying £1.30/Litre for LPG will work out cheaper then making a special diversion to pay 90p/litre when you factor in how much you will spend in vehicle fuel to get there and back.
