I hadn't realized one could have dual fuel as I thought it was one or the
other but the idea sounds intriguing.  But my big objection to propane was
loss of trunk space.

As for the age of your vehicle, I'd want something newer and have that.  My
2003 Honda Accord does not need to be plugged in until the temperature hits
-30.

Take care,
