Propane Mower Rebates & Incentives Are Back In Texas
The United States is the major consumer of fossil fuels in the world. Nearly 90% of US propane supplies are produced in existing domestic facilities and remain a reliable alternative fuel option. Propane, as a fuel for commercial grade mowers will provide benefits in cost and emission reductions. Research show that propane vehicles provide a one-third (1/3) reduction in emissions and fourteen percent (14%) better fuel economy compared to gasoline. Other benefits include; no theft of fuel from the tanks; refueling ease; less equipment maintenance; no spillage; and engine longevity.
