EDITOR'S NOTE: Now this is what we're talking about! Like CNG and Alcohol, Propane makes a great vehicle fuel and we should have thousands of stations like this across the country with inexpensive, easy-to-obtain conversions of existing vehicles. We don't need no stinking gasoline.


ASHEVILLE, NC - January 28, 2010: Alliance AutoGas, the national propane vehicle conversion and fueling network, will debut their newest public AutoGas fueling station in Asheville next week, in partnership with certified conversion center partner, German Motor Werks.

In conjunction with the propane vehicle fueling station's grand opening, the Land of Sky Clean Vehicles Coalition will be hosting a Propane Road Show and lunch event followed by a tour of the new Alliance fueling station.

Local fleet personnel will be invited to:

• Learn more about propane AutoGas alternative fuel applications

• Tour the new fueling station

• Test drive and demo an assortment of propane-powered vehicles: Alliance's AutoGas Hybrid Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, Alliance's AutoGas-powered EnviroGard lawnmower, Ferrellgas/Roush propane-dedicated Ford F-250

Road Show Details: • Date: February 1, 2010

• Location: Asheville's Double Tree Biltmore Hotel and German Motor Werks facility
