So there are two kinds of gas...as Propane type stuff is called in other countries... There is LPG and Natural Gas? Different stuff? And you can use these two interchangably? Or not? The Canadian fellow who's site was posted by another responder to this question...his vanagon's sound really interesting...Flip of the switch on the dash and go onto non-gasoline fuel...LPG or Natural Gas, I don't know which he talks about, but it's more economical in Canada for him..I think. He also says his vanagons run about the same on either fuel. Interesting. I'd like to hear more about all this..can we?
