You need to add a few facts, if you're trying to make a positive argument for propane over diesel. Main this is where did these "great savings" take place? Out west, or in the northeast? As I've already stated, propane is often twice the cost here in the northeast, as compared to out west.

Propane bus gets 4 miles per gallon. Diesel bus gets 8 miles per gallon.
