Thanks Scott, they’re only phasing out the propane/butane mix car gas, so we still have gas for domestic use. Propane on its own doesn’t have enough power to allow the cars to run well, or else I’d tap it off my house if I could figure out how to compress it into the trucks tank.
The annoying thing is that prior to the current EV fad, car gas was considered the cleanest energy for vehicles and 30 years ago you could get a big rebate on gas conversion from the federal government. Since EV’s started landing here the taxi industry (the biggest user of car gas) has moved across to EV’s, hybrids etc, and with Ford and GM leaving our shores there are no new dedicated gas vehicles being produced apart from fork lift trucks etc.
it’s madness, dedicated gas vehicles produce way less pollution and carbon than gasoline cars and apart from being much cheaper to run, the engines run so much cleaner and it’s not uncommon to find some with half a million miles on the engine with no major surgery. The problem I have is that I want to have a truck for road trips to collect bikes and parts, but as the big oil companies have jumped the gun and are phasing out their gas pumps I can’t drive it too far from metropolitan Melbourne as I don’t know where I can buy it, and as it’s a “Gas only” vehicle I can’t, just switch across to gasoline until I find a gas station that sells car gas. I think I’m going to have to buy another truck when I retire at the end of the year.
