The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) released a suite of cost calculator tools, including the Propane Irrigation Engine Calculator, Propane Mower Calculator and Propane Autogas Calculator.
The calculators estimate potential fuel savings and ROI with propane when compared with conventional fuels like gasoline and diesel.
“One of the main reasons fleets, agribusiness operators or commercial landscapers consider making a switch to an alternative fuel like propane is simple: They want to improve their bottom line,” said Tucker Perkins, PERC’s chief business development officer. “With these new applications, equipment dealers, propane providers and customers can easily calculate fuel costs with propane specific to their market and operations. And with the online and mobile tools, they can share results on the spot via email.”
The PERC cost calculator series are available in multiple platforms, including:

- downloadable worksheets, which can be printed and filled in by hand for users without computer access;
