Re: [Amc-list] LPG 258

Would be nice to know if people were still of the mind set of the old product though!
Can you imagine some poor S.O.B. like me building his ancient P.O.S. Rambler for weekend cruising on LPG and it PINGS!  
What does the butane have in comparison to LPG as far as BTU's of energy output?
Maybe it actually improves the LPG for low compression engines, and besides 105 octane is not bad at all.
So WTF do I know? Not a hell of a lot, just some crippled P.O'd old guy that is mad at the world and the F*ing doctors and all the assorted crap we have to do just to get them to believe us.
