If Quebec has fallen, North Bay isn't far behind. I was driving so slow at lunch today, I was passed by several gas-hogging SUVs.
Anyone up for a hybrid Focus GB? If we petition, we might get one!*

how would a propane conversion feel like in a focus? would it be worth the cost, and how long at current prices would we recoup the investment?

propane conversions run between $3,500 and $4,500 USD, and offer operating costs about 5%-30% less for fleet vehicles.
however, there is a decrease in horsepower and torque... I was chitchatting with a limo driver, and he was quite unhappy that people in crappy little econoboxes can out accelerate his propane powered v8. Ever been cutoff going up on onramp by an echo? I have... and the limo guy said he had it pegged. I'm not sure our little cars could afford the power loss.

I heard on the radio about an hour ago that people are reporting 2.00/L gas at some station in Stratford and that area....

I thought it was less than that to convert and the government used to give you a credit. But how about turbo on a propane car? is that even possible?
imagine a FI focus running at 10lbs of boost putting out 130hp at the wheels
awesome!
