What kind of fuel mileage do the cars run on propane you get it? I seen a Crown Vic .... flowing propane they get good mileage out of propane or does she eat fast?
Propane has a lower energy density than gasoline volume, we can expect about 75% of gas mileage. In return is the lower cost of propane about $ 2/gallon and pollution reduced. In geopolitical terms, most of the propane produced in Canada.
Propane contains 95,000 BTU per gallon of energy. Gasoline has 125,000 BTUs per gallon. Consequently, propane is 95,000 / 125,000 or 76% of energy. Propane is $ 2 a gallon, over the road, $ 45 fee or $ 2.45 per gallon. As long as gasoline under $ 2.45/.76 or $ 3.22 per gallon, gasoline is cheaper. Add in the fact that the propane tank that transports should be able to withstand 250 psi of pressure, which means it must be about 10 times stronger / heavier than a tank of gas equal size that will allow you 'Drive 300 miles before filling. This extra weight cost you fuel mileage.
