MPG ideas

That post looked like a bot reply, or an idiot troll.
I love the idea of propane and LNG injection. Do your research though, engines love to breathe methane, and I'd imagine you will have to consider A/F ratio, timing, temperature...
GM is introducing temp-controlled grill louvers soon, since aerodynamics around and through the engine compartment are generally horrible.

i was thinking of just using something as simple as a BBQ regulator along with a needel valve (or something similar to control flow) and an electric valve, to see what happens, i would imagine at a low rate of flow, the computer should beable to adjust the A/F ratio, hopefully using less unleaded, and if the propane burns any more efficiently, i may be having something, but its all an expiriment for now, but if i keep playen with things, i'm bound to stumbel on something good...hopefully...

I strongly recommend you use equipment designed to fuel an internal combustion engine with propane or LNG.
Liquid propane and LNG are different, which do you have 500# of?
Your engine is expensive and electronic. BBQ quality hardware is cheap, inaccurate and worst, leak prone. Leaking flammable gasses have a habit of collecting and occasionally exploding. Be very careful. Seriously, I wouldn't do it.
If you can get automotive (i.e. diesel) grade gaseous fuel delivery, then it might be a safe and interesting experiment. I would also want a programmer.
Just don't blow yourself up...
