5) Liquefied petroleum gas (also called LPG) is a mixture of pressurized hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances
and vehicles. Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixtures of both propane (C3 Hg) and butane (C4H10), depending
on the season-in winter more propane, in summer more butane.
