biba,
Why propane?
Actually, in europe , mainly holland and italy, this is pretty normal.
as for holland: Compare!
Road tax for a car on propane, weighing in at 1200 kilos: about 70 euro a month (100 dollars US) Road tax on a gasoline engined car of 1200 kilo ; about 40 a month. BUT!!!
a classic car over 25 years pays NO road tax.
and now it comes: Propane: 50 eurocent a litre. Gasoline, 95 ron:1.47 euro per litre................ Get the idea? (serious, a litre of 95 costs about 2 dollars US here...)
As for propane:Alfa's have hardened valve seats and they run fantastic on the stuff. you adjust the ignition and it will even run better. You have an alternative fuel system, and your radius of action increases hugely. 55 litres of gasoline and 60 of propane....
So not MY terms... my WALLETs.......
