Propane is actually safer than petrol. It's flash point is higher and the fuel air mixture range where it will ignite is narrower than petrol.
Every taxi in Australia runs on LPG (Propane) and a large percentage of private vehicles have made the switch. It's readily available with most gas stations having at least one pump and it's less than half the price of petrol.
Both GM and Ford offer straight LPG equipped cars from the factory.
I believe the majority of our LPG is sourced from natural gas fields rather than
oil.
