Ray, I don't think the facts support your conclusions. Propane engines usually outlast gas and diesel engines under similar usage, and have longer intervals between required maintenance services. For example,the MM M5 manuals list oil change intervals of 100 hrs diesel, 200hrs gasoline,and 300 hrs propane. Propane is the cleanest of the 3 fuels. Gasoline does not lubricate your engine. While lead formulations provided some protection for valves and seats,I have seen no evidence that it compensated for the other wear associated with combustion of gasoline.
