The alternative fuel of the future is already here.![]() As leaders of our country call for a 20 percent reduction in gasoline consumption, one alternative fuel stands ready - propane. Increasing the use of this affordable fuel in fleets by just 10 percent could displace one billion gallons of gasoline by the year 2017, delivering a significant portion of the displacement goal.
The majority of the propane we use is produced domestically. And with the largest storage capacity in the world, the United States supply is abundant. Pipelines, processing facilities, refueling stations, distribution centers and storage facilities already exist across the country, making large capital investments in infrastructure unnecessary.
For decades, municipal fleets, delivery fleets, forklifts and even the new Roush Ford F-150 pick-up have logged millions of miles using clean-burning propane fuel.

Millions of homeowners and their builders turn to clean-burning, reliable propane for heating, cooking, water heating and lighting.
