David if you think people trying their best to get what it takes to run this
great country of ours is a land rapist then you need to quit driving your
Tiger, get a Prius or bicycle and put a Tiger tail on it and turn off your
compute,r turn off the heat and air conditioning only flush twice a week and
drink puddle water because every little bit helps. - Bill --
Yep, one of the things (besides the cost, as Mayf pointed out) was trying to
figure out where to put those heavy propane tanks--there wasn't exactly a
lot of room :-)
And, as you say, the oil figures for ANWR vary depending on whether the
person giving them is a tree-hugger or a land-rapist.

I had a friend with a 69 Jeep Commando Wagon years ago and he ran it on
propane. We used it to go on a hunting trip in 1970 and everything worked
OK but the tank was huge and he got less than half the mileage with propane.
He filled it from his house tank so it was cheap but on the open road it was
hard to find and expensive. The tank filled up the entire space in the
rear.

Hmm.
I think I remember seeing something about how all the oil in ANWR would
cover Americas needs for about 6 months and take something like 6 years
before coming online. I could have the time frames wrong.
Rather see more conservation and less tearing up the landscape.

P.S. I agree--there's no free lunch, though at one time I thought about
trying to convert my Tiger to Propane. We do seem to have a lot of that
here in the U.S.

when we have oil in ANWR province and off the coast of our country and all
we have to do is go get it. -- Bill --
