    So if Roush builds the P-51 Mustang, would this be the Roush Ford Econoline C-47 Skytrain Edition?

    I drive a propane van. I love it. It gets 50 MPG and the fuel is only half the price. Better MPG and way lower cost of ownership than a Prius, can seat seven or carry large objects, and it was $300.


    Ain't much fun going up hills though ;)

    A propane conversion shouldn't cost any more than $1,000. Hell, I rode in a converted pickup in Amarillo about thirty years ago. This is a long way from rocket science.


    On the other hand, a van that looks that good just has to be made out of free candy. Wonder what it's like inside, don't you?

    Another round thru the ePRS (patent pending):


    Roush, after hearing about a cool new Ranger for Europe, announces the Ford E-250 Strickland Edition. Powered by propane and propane accessories, the Stricland edition will be more greenerer than the regular E-250 and is T. Boone Pickens approved.


    After working on it for 3 years, Roush realized they better get CARB on board or they would be hosed. Bribes...uh, working together...ensured it would be 50 state legal.


    Jack Roush said that he was adding 100 new jobs to the Michigan economy and is expecting tax incentives from the state.


    Performance is the same as the gas engine. The kit or completed vehicles will be available from Roush.


    Good luck finding a propane pump.

    @Jim-Bob: Actually, it was "more greenerer", therefore a triple negative and thus a positive.


    However, for press release purposes, it is 3x more green than just saying "green".

    I know propane burns clean but the Roush website says these trucks aren't 50 state legal. Did they just not make the investment to have it CARB certified? I don't know why they would ignore such a large market. I'm sure there are tons of contractors here in CA who would love to save money on fuel and get a tax break.
