Yes, but the new propane buses using liquid systems are also a fairly new technology. Since our town now only puts 100K mile on these buses and then replaces them, and they all have warranties, I do see maintenance as a big issue.
All I see is the actual tests for these new buses and the propane versions get 1/2 the miles per gallon. And, they are much less versatile since there are very few places to buy propane as a motor fuel in NY.
I've read through several studies of towns actually using fleets of propane buses and none have reported any savings in the northeast. In fact, most have stated that they can't even "break even" using the State's added 50 cents per gallon rebate on the propane. It's been a net-loss.
If what you are saying is universally true, how come all bit over-the-road trucks aren't using propane?
