All my propane tanks freeze op real fast at high flowrates. So does my CO2 
tanks.


  That's my point.  The little playing I did with propane one afternoon came 
up 
with a flow rate of not a lot.  We have a "weed burner" setup on a 5 gallon 
bottle .  I used that so I had a little reference as to how much we were 
using 
on the car vs the weed burner.  The valve was turned down so low that I 
don't think I've ever seen the bottle frost up at that rate.  Now a whole 
bottle 
vs the intake is indeed different but then you figure the volume of air 
flowing 
through and although the drop MAY be measureable, I personally, seat of 
the pants, IMO, don't think it'd be enough to make any real performance, 
mileage or whatnot, difference.  You need to see somewhere bordering 
50F to really feel a difference but even a 20F drop.  A lot of A/C units 
only do about 30 to 40F drop and that's using a lot of evaporative cooling 
from the freon.  Propane is close in heat capacity as R 12.  I just think 
it'd 
take a lot more propane that you'll burn to cool the intake charge enough 
for that to be the justification.
