Red light to green fuel

Fewer gas outlets, lower mileage are prompting auto drivers to go back to petrol SEVERAL autorickshaws in the city are back to using petrol tanks even after converting to LPG, citing problems with using the more ecofriendly fuel. ''I converted my autorickshaw to gas a few months ago following a government order last year, but I cannot use it. It gives lower mileage than petrol and there are very few gas outlets in the city. I have switched back to petrol,'' said A Sommaya, who is operating at Sowcarpet auto stand.
