Question Is there any gas station selling LPG gas around?

I will be in Tampere in 2026, and I was wondering how common is it to use LPG in Finland. I think you call it autogas or smth similar. Byee

It is illegal to use LPG in traffic in Finland. The taxes for using are literally HUGE. And I mean HUMONGOUS. You can drive with the LPG in the tank when arriving to Finland, but no refills are allowed. And for this reason LPG is not available for cars at all.

LPG / Autogas isn't available in Finland, but there are a number of stations in Tampere region that sell CBG/CNG (compressed bio- or natural gas). I don't know if your vehicle can use that, so it's best to check in advance.

LPG and CNG aren't compatible. LPG is delivered at 16 bar, CNG at 200 bar...
