An online cost calculator on the Propane Education & Research Council’s (PERC) website shows fleet owners the cost of running propane vehicles in their operation.

The fleet calculator will analyze possible cost savings over a 10-year period, factoring in fuel prices, vehicle fuel mileage, initial vehicle price, local and state rebates, and federal tax credits, PERC said.

According to PERC, many propane-fueled fleet products are currently on the market, such as the Blue Bird Vision school bus, the Roush F-150 pickup, the General Motors 8.1-liter engine platform and numerous aftermarket systems.
