The study also reported a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as a benefit to fleet users. Because propane autogas is a cleaner burning fuel, vehicles that use it have engines with extended lifecycles. A engine burning propane autogas typically would last twice as long as a comparable gasoline engine.
Maintenance intervals can be extended because of the lack of particles and corrosion found in oil changes of gasoline-burning engines.
