Don: He just said it was "cheaper to run", so I assumed (that bad word LOL)
that's what he meant. He does own a concrete pumping company out of
Douglassville GA (or did at the time) so all his trucks ran off propane, so
that is probably what he meant, Chuck
Maybe you can answer this.. I know it's off topic, but it IS on topic to us,
cause the more money we make, the more often we can go fishing. My wife has
cooked and sold boiled peanuts for 25 years now. And when we carry our 20
pound propane bottles to the propane place to get them filled, they fill
them all the way full. When we just "exchange" then at the racks you find
around town now, they are only filled to 80%. The propane guy told us he
though it was some federal law about having the bottles too full.. I know we
get 20% or less cook time per bottle "off the rack" and that is right into
our slim profit margin..

Chuck,
I believe the part about cleaner plugs (less carbon), but propane has
nowhere the energy of gasoline, so I don't see how he could have gotten
better mpg. If propane was cheaper by a lot, he may have gotten better
miles per dollar, but not miles per gallon.

What does the C in CNG stand for???? I looked it up and in Bama it's only
available in Birmingham, but is only $1.37 per gallon, vs $282.9 per gallon
of regular gas. BIG difference. I had an Uncle who converted his truck to
run on propane. he got better mileage and he pulled the spark plugs after 50
THOUSAND miles and they looked to be in "brand new" condition. Chuck

Tom said,
bought a truck that uses CNG so not only can I
go fishing green, but I can go cheap! (currently
$.93 cents a gallon)
Interesting to look at the prices of CNG across
the country. ALL of the Utah stations are
93｢/gallon.
All of the Indiana stations are $1.73 (and few and far between).
California stations ranged from $1.09 San Jose
Unified School District - a flet operation) to
$4.25 per gallon (Napa - Redwood Chevron).
