Years ago there was a push for propane powered personal vehicles. Are they still a thing? With all this new tech in cars can you even convert a car these days?
Are propane fueled cars still a thing?

Lasr time I remember being in a propane fueled vehicle was in Spain about '73. Taxi driver had to stop at an exchange station and swap cylinders. I didn't know such a thing existed. We had a spirited discussion about that.
Seen a few diesels boosted with propane before, none lately though.
Seems like I recall not but a few years ago you could still get new CNG vans/trucks from Ford and Chevy, but a quick search shows them all but gone.
I can tell you the Local Gas Company ( now...Enbridge? was Dominion, and West Ohio Gas in the before times) has all their vehicles running on CNG...
but the LPG (Liquid/Liquefied Propane Gas) conversions that were fairly common in Europe/Australia, were never really approved for sale in the US.
and Most of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) cars/ trucks we've seen in the US, have come from the factory that way... there probably were some conversion kits available in the 90's, but I've not seen or heard of one in years.
