Subject: RE: BS: Creeping gas prices
Yes, LP, or liquefied petroleum. More and more vehicles are being converted to run on it. Quite common for homes in the country away from the city gas (natural gas) lines to have an LP tank in the yard. Everything 'gas' in the house runs on it. Stove, heat, etc. The output jets on an LP cook stove are smaller, and IMO, it doesn't put out the BTUs that the same amount of natural gas does. I can't stay warm in a house heated with LP. Which, just to confuse things more, is often called propane. Same stuff camp stoves and outdoor grills over here run on.
