“The first month after the truck was converted to run on propane autogas, we used 354 gallons and saved somewhere between $400-500 on fuel,” said Midwest Roofing and Construction Owner Josh Fowler. “Now that we’ve been running the truck for a while, we’ve used more than 800 gallons of autogas and saved around $1,200. The truck is used to pull large loads, and we have been pleased with the reliable performance and towing capacity since switching to autogas.”
