Awful white up there in the tower. Where's the pizza?
ReplyDeleteSince when is propane cheaper. Historically it has been more costly then natural gas or gasoline or diesel as a fuel source.
ReplyDeleteWhat about cost of operation and fuel millage? It may seem "warm and fuzzy" but look at the "real cost".
ReplyDeleteMakes 100% sense. Anybody that knows anything about vehicles will tell you this is the best plan for this type of vehicle news.
ReplyDeleteIf this was the "besg plan" all automakers would be selling these, and all shoppers would be buying them. The market always shows what works.
DeleteDon't like white people 1:27 ?
ReplyDeleteThey ought 2 b fun if there's ever a shootout with the cops...
ReplyDeletepropane is under major pressure, that is how it is forced to be a liquid. under pressure = explosion that levels HOUSES, remember laurel??'
ReplyDeletereal smart babs
Plenty of hot air from spd police chief lol.
ReplyDelete....and the computer screen in the picture has a snap shot of the SBY News web page.
ReplyDeleteGood one.
Wow a new level of stupid.
ReplyDeletewhat difference does it make, the cops are scared to come out. it's too dangerous.
ReplyDelete2:49 Not really!
ReplyDeleteAnd there are plenty of propane filling stations around to fill er up, should only take 5 times as long.
ReplyDeleteThis is idiotic. Someone is getting a kickback and I assume it's Sharp. This will end up costing us at least 2x a regular car.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the secret bids ?.

ReplyDeletePreviously employed by propane distributor in another state. No dog in this discussion.
For vehicles that operate in a reasonable radius (town vs. statewide) and come back to a central location for fueling it is a proven technology.
LP is in a pressure vessel which normally takes up some trunk space and adds some weight but much sturdier than gas tank. They can be toggle switch gas/propane. Propane burns very clean and you'd be amazed at how clean heads stay. Oil change intervals were greatly extended; mostly doubled. We ran our bobtails (delivery trucks) on LP in very hilly and chilly terrain.
That was 35 years ago! There have been big changes in synthetic oil change intervals, pollution specs and some others since then. Not commenting on those.
Converting existing SPD fleet may be cost iffy but as new cars are purchased with LP capability would work to benefit city and taxpayers. Converting recently purchased cars might be viable also.
Not scary at all.
Don't confuse the indigenous population with factual information. They respond better to information from the grapevine originating on a tailgate and usually ending in a garage or pole barn.
ReplyDelete2:25 While what you say about the cleanliness of propane as a fuel, the problem still is propane as a fuel source is currently more expensive then gasoline and will probably continue to be for the near(next 5 years) future. Since these vehicles will probably disposed of in about 5 years then they will more than likely not be cost effective even with incentives.
