There's been alot of discussion about propane injection. It pops up
periodically. I have not been following it because of a general lack of
interest. I take it its done for a performance modification, not economy. I am
curious, though, how economical this is. In other words, has anyone done a miles
per dollars of propane for propane injection in a VW diesel?
