yes i factor in propane.
propane is a tricky thing to measure. if you look at it by a purely miles per gallon basis, it does get less mpg's then gas. by a good amount too. the thing is, propane is significantly cheaper then gasoline. so although the mpg drops a bit, the actual cost per mile also drops (because its reduced cost more then makes up for its reduced mpg's). so i try to adjust the mpg i tell people to accurately reflect the "true" mpg when taking into account its cost. that's where i get 40mpg from.
