Does everyone follow me?

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you're grasping that you can't compare gasoline to propane in this way...

Gasoline and Propane have two differing BTU/volume levels, they have two different densities, and you're attempting to compare apples to oranges here.

The actual comparison will have more weight in research terms if you're using the same fuel in two forms, since all else remains unchanged.

Liquid gasoline vs vaporized gasoline, in the same engine,

Not liquid gasoline in a gasoline engine vs. vaporous propane in a gasoline engine.
