What happened to Propane

What killed the idea of Propane injection?

Why is Alky better?

Have the two ever been compared?

was there ever a decent controller developed?
surely the technology is there.


I can't help but wonder what the potential of propane actually is.
I know there are kits out there but they are older technology.


What are your thoughts? is using a gas with supercooling properties not worth exploring?

Last thing I remember was that the controllers weren't up to the vendors standard and eventually the cost/results/maintenance lead everyone to alky.

I think a few guys were even doing both alky and propane, damn.
