Propane will advance your timing. Depending on how much timing is already in your chip this may cause issues (well just one... boom). You may want to find a tuner that will write you a propane program. I find a hand calculated 26mpg hard to believe. Maybe on the lie-o-meter with a chip installed.

29 mpg could happen on diesel with propane, because propane is a fuel and will lessen the amount of diesel to go a mile, BUT it substitutes one fuel for another. You get no real deal with this thinking.

I figure propane is around .50 to .75 a gallon more than diesel. So I figure if it gives me 4+mpg it may be worth it. I'll just have to run the numbers

I saw 27 mpg on the lie o meter with my superchip.
