Hello All,
Good news. Mexico is going LPG. I've just been down there for 18 days and have been hitting the streets, checking out the LPG conversions they have going. It's getting huge. Mexicans are tired of paying state mandated prices at the pump. In fact, next to most Pemex stations, LPG stations for vehicles are sprouting up everywhere. Keep in mind, these are private stations which are giving Pemex (state run oil company) a run for their money. And, better yet, LPG is delivered door to door in Mexico since probably 99% of gas stoves in Mexico are LPG and bottles have to be refilled monthly. Imagine having your LPG gas delivered to your home each day to fill up your vehicle. I like that!!
According to one Mexican LPG driver I spoke with, the price is about half that of gasoline. And, the cost to convert his truck was $500 including the tank. You heard that right, $500 included the tank. When I told him that a CNG tank is about $2000 he nearly cracked up. And, of course in Mexico, they'll convert any car.
Question is: Could I convert my car there "un-convert it" before I cross the border back into the US and still be above the law? Of course, I would only ever use LPG while driving in Mexico. I would never break the law in the USA.
$500 bucks including the tank is a steal. Also, keep in mind LPG tanks last much longer than CNG since they can be re-certified.
Thanks all!
Hasta pronto!!
