Propane has about 80 percent of the BTUs compared to gasoline. If you get 10 MPG on gasoline you should be getting about 8 MPG on propane.

Propane works well for fleets that are returned to a home base often enough that they can always be fueled there. Buying propane on the road can be a real pain and you will not be saving much over gasoline.

The trucks I service are converted from gasoline when they are new. Cost of conversion is about $5500. Cost savings pay for the conversion in 18 to 24 momths. Trucks are kept five to six years or about 150,000 miles. Oil changes are at 6000 miles rather than 3000 miles. They are also getting propane delivered with road taxes paid cheaper than I can get it for heating fuel. You can get a good price if your smallest order is a million gallons.
