Lot of things to condsider.
One is the cost of propane if you are paying road tax will usually go up to close the price of gasoline. It may not be there now but give it time.
Propane and gasoline produce about the same power or gas mileage per gallon
A blazer is not the best thing to put a propane tank in or even the trunk of a car.
Pickups or bigger trucks are the only ones safe to mount a propane tank on.
Like said it goes boom big time if it has a leak.
If a engine is changed over to propane it needs to be done on a new engine and some engine will need special heads and valves.
