Don't know who can have propane as easy available as gasoline.
Last time I had to fill my propane tank, I ask at campground where can I find propane, what was great start.
But I had to turn about 1 mile from my route, spend about 1/2 hr on pulling the cylinder out, carrying it to fill station, wait in lane, than go to the building to pay.
I paid $35 for 7-gallons tank that was not empty.
7 gallons of gasoline at the location was about $16.
Add hassle of cylinder certification every few years and lifting the filled up cylinder overhead into compartment.
Sure at home, where you have propane delivered at wholesale price to your 1000 gallons tank - that is different story.
Propane beside lower energy also has very primitive carburetors who waste a lot of it.
