Propane stations are everywhere now, this could actually work for the average joe.

If propane is about 30% cheaper than gasoline there is no benefit in using it. You get less mileage on propane than you do on gas, usually the mileage goes down at least 25% so this offsets the lower cost. Also, there are higher combustion temperatures with propane, it's more aggressive on the valves/seats. In my country you have to convert the cylinderhead[s] to tougher valve seats in order for the engine to survive. But yes, it is cleaner than gasoline.

Why are we all running our cars on gasoline made from expensive overseas oil, and then selling them our cheaper propane?

I had ZERO confidence in my country's politicians to do what is right for our country before watching this video, and somehow, I have even less now.

This goes for all politicians.

There is not infrastructure for propane, and it is expensive you said 30% less that petro, rarely? Lets convert all current petro machinery to propane and see demand and supply ratio, and then compare the price, I do not what I am talking about, but feels like it I am analyzing right.
