The problem is for ordinary people like me, availability. I wouldn't want to have a propane-fueled car if I were on the road and propane refueling stations were few and far between. But fleet users like school districts might want to consider spark-ignited propane engines as an alternative to Diesel, because even though Diesel engines are more efficient, they tend to have problems meeting oxides of nitrogen and particulate emission standards. The Chicato Transit Authority at one time had a fleet of propane-fueled transit buses, then converted over to Diesel-powered buses. But remember, that was before draconian oxides of nitrogen and particulate emission standards.
