Just a comment that here in Madison, Wisconsin, a number of the vans at the hospital I work at (University Hospital & Clinics) have been converted to propane power, as has one or two of the taxi fleets in the city. (Of course, with Badger Cab, that might be as much to keep driver's from stealing the taxis as out of concern for oil conservation...!) The city buses still seem to run off of oil, however. Plus, I suspect that propane power might just be a temporary solution. Brian Brian A. Stewart-- Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
