Prpane as a MPG Booster

So a while back (during the last gas crises) along with testing HHO…(did not work)

The idea of running propane as a booster came up.

The claim was adding some propane could give you a 20 to even 40% MPG boost.

The problem then was I was looking for a way to run a company SELLING MPG systems and to do so they would have been required to buy the propane for a car at a propane for cars station witch with the much higher cost meant no savings. You ended up with the same cost per mile.

Plus you out say a 1K for the set up.

But now with gasoline prices at over $5.50. and no real hope they will ever come back down, propane might be a better idea.

So the only thread on this was done in 2008.

So is it a good idea nowadays?? If so data, and any how to add a system to say Ford Crown Vics etc??
