I made sure not to compare propane volume of gasoline to volume of propane. I broke it down to a BTU comparison between the 2 fuels.
The propane mod engines run higher compression, different ignition possibly different cam profile. If total vaporization was so far superior then we should see a difference much greater than a 5% improvement.
What you are trying to say is the energy content of propane is only 73% of gasoline and it still did better in some tests and that is simply not the case at all in how I made my comparison.
A BTU comparison of the 2 fuels eliminates this inherent rookie volume to energy comparison difference.
