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??
