[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 1571682, member: 1384"] I don't think it's mathematically possible to build an engine that will run on propane and pump gas and get close to equal performance (power/consumption/mileage/however you want to measure "performance"). Propane just doesn't have the energy density. I'd venture to guess that 'Burb will get about 7-8 mpg on propane unloaded and 3-4 pulling 10-14K. You mentioned daily driving, but do you have a daily commute? or do you just run to town every once in a while? You may live somewhere that fueling up a home is simpler than in town. I'm not sure where you are, but it sounds like you have the propane thing figured out around the homestead as a primary fuel. I'd enjoy a build thread. [/QUOTE]
