The company decided to begin adding propane-autogas vehicles about 13 months ago, according to Blue Star Gas.
"Our main motivation for switching to propane autogas was financial," said Mark Lambourne, president of Superior Water and Air. "We've seen substantial savings and estimate the company will see a return on investment 18 months after conversion."
Blue Star Gas installed Superior Water and Air’s 1,000-gallon on-site fueling tank and converted two Chevrolet Silverado pickups, one Ford E-350 box truck, and 25 full-sized Chevrolet 2500 cargo vans to propane autogas, the distributor said. Blue Star Gas will assist with future propane autogas vehicle conversions and provide ongoing safety training and technical support.
