That is possible but you really have to be injecting way to much propane to do it.

You will NOT get that kind of milage increase unless you are using dangerous amounts of propane.
I have been running propane injection for 5 years. I use the Powershot 2000 vapor phase system, one of the safest systems available. My goal was to increase power when towing my fiver and it does that well, I usually dont turn it on when running empty because I dont need the extra power my chip set on performance gives me all I need then. I did run propane all the time when I first got the system and got about 2 mpg increase, the fuel savings was more than made up for by the cost of propane. The Powershot system with a storage tank will runn you better than $1000 so if your are going to try to save money with propane you wont.
