there has been several posts concerning propane conversion, I would suggest doing a quick search on this and the general discussion site..... most decide that there is not much of a breakeven point to warrant the conversion...

If you mean direct cost recovery, I would probably agree, although this would depend on the price of propane vs gasoline in your area. However, propane has other advantages. Propane-fueled engines start and run better in cold weather, stay MUCH cleaner inside (extending oil change intervals), and generally run longer between overhauls.
