[Vwdiesel] propane vs. nitrous...difference, benefits

[Ron Schroeder]

Propane:

Better fuel economy (even including the propane)
some power increase on NA, more on TD
lower emissions
cheap to refill


Nitrous:

Same or worse fuel economy
More power (if you injector pump is big enough
higher emissions
expensive to refill

You can use both.
