Propane conversions were quite popular a number of years ago.

I'm not sure how popular they today.

I would think most parts a readily available, I don't think you would have to import anything.

Just do a Google search for propane conversion and the name of the city your moving to.

There are at least three Manitoba Propane Conversion Centers

Propane Gas Association of Canada list of places where propane available in Manitoba.

I don't think that list includes all places where propane is available.

It is too cheap to be true, 72.9c per liter in Winnipeg.

I don't know, LPG is roughly half the price of petrol in the UK at most stations...

He's talking about the price in Canada not the UK.
Did you even look at the link?

No need to get smart.

I was pointing out the fact that if it is usually roughly half the price over here, than it is concieveable that it is going to be of a similar price in Canada.

Why would you think that when I already said that the 40c figure was incorrect and posted the price that week in Winnipeg 72.9c.

I do see the link is not working today.

There's a lot a LPG places in Winnipeg, most of the Taxis run on it (those that haven't converted to Prius's). Most of the gas stations that refill bar-b-q tanks can do vehicles too. Its around 70c per liter.
