    Don't know if you can get propane at $1.25. It hasn't dropped below $2.35 for our home propane tank refills the last couple of years and has hit close to $3.00

    Ugh. But good point. It'd be nice though if $$$ stayed here instead of flowing over to the Saudis. But then, how would they afford to build new palm islands to drive their silver and gold cars to?

    ^ haha that's funny. What we need to do is make a system that runs on water... In that, the system separates the hydrogen which is combustible and uses that for fuel and exhausts the oxygen.... Wishful thinking

    Hey, I was on submarines back in the 80's, we separated the hydrogen & oxygen in water so we could breath the oxygen. So the technology is out there, but would need to make is smaller for the auto industry.

    ALSO: Ebay has complete conversion kits for about $600, then you need to buy a tank which can run as low as $250.
