LP isn't "cheap" in my neck of the woods (central NY). Not by the gallon an not by the lower MPGs it gets. Propane is $2.70 to $2.90 per gallon here. Gas is $3.75 and diesel $4.20-$4.30. That comes to one dollar buying 29,000 BTUs with propane, or 30,500 BTUs with gasoline or diesel fuel. They are all pretty close (kind of like it's intentional). Considering a diesel engine is the most efficient and the propane engine the least efficient - running propane makes no sense around here.
School buses around here wasted some money on propane and CNG. They get 9.5 MPG with propane, 10 MPG with CNG and 13.3 MPG with diesel.
I have noticed though that more and more big rig road-tractor fleets are running CNG instead of diesel. I assume because CNG is awful cheap in many areas.
