In Canada, more than 60,000 vehicles are running on propane. With more environmentally conscious drivers on the road, it is no surprise that so many are switching to propane. Here are some benefits to running a propane-fuelled vehicle as opposed to gasoline.
Environmentally Friendly
Propane is clean burning and according to Transport Canada reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20% when compared to gasoline. Propane also produces less carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and other GHQ emissions than gasoline. It is also non-toxic and as a vapour cannot spoil land or water as it dissipates almost immediately.
Cost-Effective
Even though it technically takes more propane to go the same distance as it does gasoline, the actual costs of operating a propane-fuelled vehicle is less than gasoline. Propane itself is one of the most affordable alt-fuels on the market. While it may be expensive to convert a car to run on propane, drivers usually end up making their money back in savings over time- due to lower fuel costs and less maintenance. Propane's high octane works to expand the life of your engine.
Safe
Propane is non-toxic and non-ingestible, making it a safe alternative to conventional fuel. It also has the lowest flammability of any other alt-fuel, making it less combustible than other fuels.
