Propane powered Honda

What benefits does an engine like this offer? The obvious one is being able to run this inside with out killing yourself but do they also get better mpg? How much is propane?

I think that propane is more efficient to run, but it really stinks. There is a local company here that runs it in their trucks and I hate to get behind them, because they REEK. Keep in mind it's a Honda, take that for what it's worth.

I do not think that propane will give you as much power as gas. You see trucks powered by propane, but if it were as good or better, you would see more. The thing is, you can use a propane engine in a confined space. That's why the have forklifts powered by it.

Propane is REALLY cheap next to gas. Our forklift has it and it's not the most powerful thing, but getting the bottle filled up is like $20-30 around here. We don't quite use it hours and hours everyday, but we can get around a 3-4 weeks if not more out of it.
