Wanted to make sure about this before I said anything about it. Diesel Power Magazine had a shootout last year ( September 2010 issue ) and one of the contestants used a CNG assist system ( Matt Handwork, Duramax ) that won the mileage contest, he did 45.58 mpg. Dmitri Millard did 36 and change by pulsing his nitrous system when taking off, and this is on a 1200+ hp ride.

I think we can do better than that.

It'll probably be better to optimize the fuelling so that you're good to go all the time, because you won't be penalized for it, not at this power level. Plus you know how to drive.

The propane will just be icing on the cake.
