So for the last four+ months I couldn’t figure out why every carro público and most taxis had huge metal tanks in their trunk. As a mom with a stroller to stow away, this situation was less than convenient. Were they building rockets? Was it compressed air for flat tires?
Turns out that all public cars and many taxis here run on propane. I’m still not sure who converts all the cars from gasoline to propane, but supposedly it’s a LOT cheaper to run your car on propane. Who knew? I wonder why this hasn’t taken off in the U.S.? Maybe we value our trunk space more than fuel efficiency. I don’t know. But, I’m glad to have the mysterious rocket caper solved.
