It's all in how you measure things --

One lb of propane, when burned, creates approximately 2-1/4 lbs of
water (in vapor form, of course.) This is roughly 35 fl.oz.

How does this happen? You mean that propane (or any other fuel) can create
more mass that what is was before being burned? If this is true, why don't
we ship propane to drought stricken regions and burn it to make water?

to burn 1 pound of propane, takes _5_ pounds of Oxygen in the air.

From which, you get approximately 2-1/4 pounds of water, and 2-3/4 pounds
of carbon-dioxide.
