JY> Raw gold would be cheaper!
 
Don't have any of that to trade for it either. =-) 

 JY> It works for Corvettes, boats, and dune buggies, why not?

My thoughts as well. 

 JY> Bingo!  TTBOMK there are *no* self-serve propane refill stations in
 JY> the US. The government probably feels that the average American is to
 JY> dumb to fill a propane tank properly, and they're probably right. 
 JY> Witness the "20% valve" regulation that just came out,
useta be 10% and
 JY> the operator had to turn a screw to observe when liquid came out of the
 JY> weep-hole.  the new valves shut the fill off at 20%.
 
The government is too busy protecting us from outselves that we;re getting
no where. 

 JY> 84-90%, according to my Northern Tool catalogue.  A 207hp GM LPG
 JY> engine puts put 186 hp on natural gas.  The spec sheet doesn't say
 JY> which GM engine, though.
 
Thats not too bad a drop, provided you have enough cubic inches and power
to begin with. Not much of an issue if your building a purpose built engine. 

 JY> How about producer gas?  a wood-powered auto..

I have a producer gas...  ;-)
