Propane growing as alternative fuel

Bill Van Hoy’s pickup truck has two fuel tanks.

Van Hoy, executive director of the Texas Propane Gas Association, so strongly advocates propane as a fuel alternative that he chose to convert his personal vehicle, a 2008 GMC Silverado, with a bi-fuel system of both propane and traditional gasoline.

He showcased his truck at the Propane Council of Texas’ Propane Autogas Fleet event Tuesday, July 23, in Lubbock. Van Hoy claims he gets more miles per gallon operating from the propane tank, but can switch to gas during trips and travel up to 1,000 miles before stopping for fuel. Read more here.
