Propane works well on route trucks that return to the depot every day where they can be refueled. If you have a nation wide contract on propane delivery and purchase 45 million gallons a year the price can be very competitive.

The liquid fuel injection has been around about 10 years now and they are dependable systems. Fuel tanks are stronger than the truck frames.
