They professional systems cut off the propane if you crash. No smoking in the car please |

I once was passed up by a turbo disel jeep grand cheroke in DR(made me feel like I was going 5mph). The SUV was full of people and it just had pure power. I don't think that the gasoline engine can produce that much power |

Yes you even have enhanced fuel efficiency using diesel. Many european cars go at 45 miles/gal (not ideal, with optimal driving conditions ~60mpg). You can also recycle much of the exhaust and re-burn it, ergo clean diesel. This is still in development although there are some makers that do this already, especially Volkswagon.

But in DR you can't beat propane. Wait until they start selling natural gas cheaper than propane. |

I guess those that cheat the Dominican government of tax by using propane should send a voluntary tax cheque to them every couple of months so they can continue to spend on roads, schools, hospitals etc. S. |
