If an engine is properly converted to use propane, it can be well
worthwhile. Canadians, at least in BC, do this - none of this half-
arsed 'dual fuel' bull**** that we tend to get in the UK, where the
engine isn't tuned properly for either fuel, and therefore suffers!

The other benefit of Propane, as someone else has stated, is that the
engine tends to stay cleaner for longer.
