Propane MPG?
My truck gets 10MPG on regular gas. If I swiched over to Propane would it still get 10MPG on propane? Or does it not work like that? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

So far this is what I have found.

Based on everything I have read it seems like this conversion would save me about $80 a month
I've seen kits for $800.... that means in less than a year it would pay for it self.

ok i'm interested. 800.00 is too much. i just went ot ebay you can get the mixer, converter,shutoff for about 100.00. then i priced the hose and fittings which is another 90.00 then a used forklift tank is 70.00 . i might just run the bbq tanks because i can't refill the forklift tanks here. i read it and it is pretty easy looking. i may give this a shot.
