you won't feel so bad about it seeing how gas prices are gonna be 3-4$ a gallon this summer

a buddy of mine has a 460 powered f250, you can literally see the needle on the fuel gauge head towards empty if he gets on it

I am going to try a propane conversion on my LUV once I get the thing straight. I gotta see how much it will take to do it.

a while back (about a year ago) i saw a propane setup for a luv on ebay. this guy had pulled it off a luv that was used in a warehouse. gas prices are outrageous, thats why i put the luv back on the road, gets a better gas milage than the gmc.

with propane you'll want to really crank up the compression somehow. it works well on setups with around 11:1 compression. don't think it's gonna be too much cheaper than gas though

the price of propane is more than gas right now i think.
To solve the problem of gas prices this summer im finally going to get a bike (BMW 650 GS 8) )

With the price of Gas being so high, I will settle for my LUV over my Mazda Ranger any day. The Mazda Ranger gets shitty gas mileage. So putting the LUV on the road over my Mazda Ranger or the Aerostar will be a god send.

That is if I can ever find out where the selenoid cables go and where they came from.

And get the seats in, and the windshield, etc.
