Price per Gallon
We are leaving for Canada on Monday
When we came down almost 2 months ago we found the price of propane in the US was just about double that of gas.
Our motorhome is dual fuel....Propane and ags for the engine.
In Canada and Mexico its far less expensive to run on propane if you don't use it on the hard pulls.
Does anyone know if the price per gallon for auto propane has come back to reality in the US since we've been down here???
Inquiring minds need to know

Gasoline is still under $2, however, it has risen about .20 a gallon in recent weeks. Don't know about propane.

Interesting that a symbol for the peso wasn't created to help the confusion.
If able, an S with two lines could be dollars and with on ($) could be pesos... But do keyboards have the US dollar symbol with 2 lines hidden
somewhere?
MN$ and US$ are another way to seperate the two, perhaps?

Yeah....that's exactly the way it's done, by hand. Of course, the computer can't do that so we have to keep in mind the need to explain.
Usually I'll indicate Pesos this way...P or Ps.

For your forty mile trip, the difference wouldn't buy a bottle of beer. Quit doing the math, live the dangerous life and just buy some gas whenever
you need it and get on the road.

If you got an honest pour and got top rate of exchange then you would be right close to $2 per gallon.
But you won't.
