I have a '94 Ex and the recent cold weather is really hurting my fuel economy.
I'm not interested in converting it to run on propane alone, but I was wondering what would happen if I rigged up something to fog a small amount of propane into my intake? I'm not looking for extra power, just want to substitute some $2/gal propane in place of the near $3/gal gas. I probably don't understand FI engines very well, but my theory is that the propane would cause my engine to run rich, and when my 02 sensors detect that, my computer would lean the mixture, causing it to use less fuel. Does this sound correct or am I overlooking something?
I've heard of propane injection on diesel motors, but not on gas. Have any of you ever tried this?
