propane conversions run between $3,500 and $4,500 USD, and offer operating costs about 5%-30% less for fleet vehicles.
however, there is a decrease in horsepower and torque... I was chitchatting with a limo driver, and he was quite unhappy that people in crappy little econoboxes can out accelerate his propane powered v8. Ever been cutoff going up on onramp by an echo? I have... and the limo guy said he had it pegged. I'm not sure our little cars could afford the power loss.
