Companies with the newest highest tech propane school buses keep trying to sell to our school district. Thank heavens it keeps getting voted down -so far. The propane buses with the newest tech get 4 MPG. The new diesels get 8 MPG. Propane is $3 per gallon and diesel is $4 per gallon here in the northeast. The math isn't too hard to figure out. Propane bus uses 75 cents per mile and the diesel bus uses 50 cents per mile.
Seems all the "educated" school admins see is the dollar less per gallon for propane and think it's a great deal. Seems they think "BTU" stand for "Best Truck Uncontested" instead of "British Thermal Units."
Now - maybe out in the southwest where propane is much cheaper it makes sense. Not here.
