[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 332787, member: 7544"] I know it's cheaper mpg wise to run a car on propane than it is on gasoline but that's when you're filling your tank at the bulk rate cost of around $1.80 - $2.20 per gal of LPG/Propane. If you start figuring up the the mpg cost of running one of those outboards on 1 pound tanks which run around $3.25 and up for just 1 pound, that cost effectiveness is gonna be shot to hell in a hurry. Of course it will come down a little if you can run a 20 lb tank (approx 2.7 gal) which cost around $23. That still leaves the per gallon cost at $8.50 ish which it going to translate to some very expensive mpg. [/QUOTE]
