You can bet propane will follow other petroleum products as supply
dictate the price. San Diego has had an new home moratorium on natural
gas for over twenty years as our supply dwindles, so many of the three
thousand homes that burned in our last fire had propane missiles.
Propane had a surprising higher BTU, and an octane of a hundred and
thirty, while it last.

Much as I _love_ the venerable Slant Six, why bother putting one in a
Jeep when the 232/258 drops right in?

I think he's from another plant.

Actually it's methane (CNG,LNG) that has 130 octane rating. Propane is
only 106-108 depending on which test engine is used. (Actually ALL
octane ratings depend on which test engine is used, but that's a
diffferent issue.)

However, methane is condensible only at cryogenic temperatures.
Propane is a low pressure condensible.

Propane is the simplest fuel system and the cleanest, easiest to use,
best motor fuel we may buy. Unfortunately, there's just so much of it a
barrel of crude will fractionate off. CNG has no range and requires
scuba-class pressure tanks. LNG requires a cryotank and complex valving
and high dollar gas condensing plants.
