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 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!
