Anyone looking into ordering the 3.7 Ti-VCT V6 with the propane prep package.

Here in Canada a complete conversion costs about $4500 to $5500. This is for a dual conversion gas/propane. Vehicle is reported to run equally well on either fuel. Propane costs about 40% less then gas. It would not take long at this rate to pay for the conversion.

If anyone is planning a conversion I would be interested in any information regarding conversion companies, systems, costs and procedures.

The more I learn about propane I am convinced that is the way to go. Not interested in CNG. No range and hard to find.

With a dual system you would be able to travel twice as far before stopping to fill.

If you read the information from the South West Research Institute, they have determined that propane is the best fuel for the future and ideal for the 3.5 ecoboost (better then gasoline).
