Real World Savings – Iowa 2017

Diesel: $1.79 Propane: $0.51 after Fed Rebate

23

 Our customers report

  • $0.80 per mile on diesel buses
  • $0.19 per mile on propane buses

 That’s a savings of $0.61 per mile

Which means:

 If you drive 12,000 miles per year and operate for 15 years…

  • 1 bus saves $7,320 in 1 year
  • 1 bus saves $109,800 in its lifetime

Fueling Infrastructure

Private stations offer:

  • Fuel management system tie-in

capability

  • Larger, more robust fuel pumps for

quicker fill time

  • More storage, above or below ground
  • Convenience
  • Scalability

Because propane is non-toxic, it is exempt from costly underground monitoring systems that EPA requires on gasoline and diesel stations making propane stations the least expensive option!

Infrastructure Management

UST & AST – Diesel & Gasoline

 The EPA has strict requirements surrounding AST and UST systems that hold diesel and gasoline

  • Above Ground Storage Tanks and Below Ground Storage Tanks
  • The EPA estimates that the average remediation is $130,000
  • If groundwater is affected, the correction can exceed $1,000,000

 Propane fuel transfers as fast as gasoline or diesel but with these added benefits:

  • Secured connection, no spillage
  • No diesel residual on pump handle
  • No residual on the ground
  • Non-carcinogenic

 Propane is non-toxic and dissipates into the atmosphere
