I keep hearing about all sorts of propane conversions that people find on their 140s when they buy them or something, and i am wondering: would it be worth it to convert to propane; is it a good investment?

Gas here is currently $1.89 for regular
Propane Costs here $10.00 for a 20 lb. capacity tank that holds about 4.3-4.7 gallons of liquid propane.

i don't know what kind of miliage one gets running on propane, but i'm sure somebody in, say, the netherlands would know...

it would be on a '71 144s that gets currently between 16-19 mpg (gas guage is broken) not sure.

any information would be helpful
