$1.87 a gallon doesn''''t sound too bad but I don''''t know about the advanced electronics in the I-5 whether it will tolerate LP gas without a LOT of modification. Every kit I saw HAS to have a carburetor and the last time I looked my H3 doesn''t have one.

1/4 to 1/3 less power and mileage. I had a fiend whose father had a propane company. He was going to convert his entire fleet....... he did one truck. He also had a lawn mower that ran on propane which wasn''t bad.

Granted it''s been almost 10 years, so things may have changed.
