    Convienency (filling stations), and space (fuel tanks use trunk space).

    Outside of that, they are both great fuels.

    Twin BBQ tanks (I am only talking limited drive range) and secure mounting to aforementioned B3 hybrid. I have a line on some authentic Ford LPG injectors ;)

    Wow, at 660lb, that thing is a modern mini-micro car. Issetta buble car.

    Seems to me a shoe in for the 2+ class- production cars get a lot of extra credit.

    I like the "WOBL1" (wobbly ;) ) license plate.
