      Hydrogen has three times the power output of gasoline. It'll blow a stock engine fast.

      Propane is safer but has around 80% the power of gasoline.

      We have had factory propane farm tractors, and trucks converted to LP gas too, but no noticable difference in power at all. And I know the Nebraska farm tractor tests in the 1950's and 1960's show the farm tractors engine horsepower output actually show propane at a stronger PTO horsepower. I know the engine is always clean with propane, and long lasting. But with cars, it is a pain to fill them, most do not like it. It is a good fuel tho.

          I crossed the line into Sumas, Wa and got it for the LOW price of only $3.69/gallon. ($.977/liter)

              Wow, that's just like mine...except this one has more miles & at 3X'S THE FREAKIN' COST!!

              Seriously, the KBB value is only like $1,500 for mint condition. If someone pays $2,900 they should be kicked in the balls for not knowing how to use a search engine.

                  it's now $3.39 here. In less than one week, the price has gone up 12 cents!

                  Yes, I understand there's unrest in the middle east, but I think it's an excuse to rip us off.

                  Summer is coming. $4.00 a gallon is coming too. Probably before Summer.

                          Yeah, it's BS. It's funny how they never discount the gas when things are going good.

                            Notice how the price moves with the stock market? (Dow Jones, Gasoline, Crude Oil)?

                            It's like everything is designed let the oil companies suck the maximum amount of money up without totally killing the economy. The news stories are just a cover up or a convenient coincidence.

                            It's been this way for almost 10 years. It really got in sync around the end of 2004.

                              With `the price of gas going up, I thought I'll go top off the tank. Already had a half tank. I was almost at the station I usually go to, when I realized I forgot my cash. No problem I'll just go to Shell since I have a Shell Card. Passed by my usual station. (3.25 per Gallon) When I got to the Shell their price almost gave me a heart attack. (3.43) I got 4.362 gallons. It cost me 15.00. Won't be going back there anytime soon, and I'll make sure I have cash in my pocket before I leave the house.

                                Dude I've been using my moms suv 4runner to get around places with my wife. I fill it up with $20 it only gets like bit close to half tank ....maybe $50 will fill it full. Hoping I can be done repairing my festiva tomorrow! Though at least my Harley gives me almost 60 mpg when I go to work
