Paraco Gas Joins Alliance Autogas Network

June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Paraco Gas Corp., one of the nation's top propane retailers, has joined the Alliance AutoGas network. Under this new partnership, Paraco Gas will help fleet managers make the switch to propane autogas for their vehicles.

Autogas is a cost-effective, clean-burning, American-made alternative fuel that is more affordable to implement than other clean fuels currently on the market.

Paraco South president Mike Gioffre notes that Paraco's 44 years in the propane industry will allow the company to leverage an already strong base of knowledge and experience in marketing yet another propane solution to its customer base. As a rapidly-growing segment of the propane industry, autogas offers fleet managers the opportunity to make a positive environmental impact while reducing costs.

"Fueling stations and vehicle conversions for propane autogas are a fraction of the price of compressed natural gas technology," he says. "Switching to autogas will help fleets cut costs while reducing their carbon footprint and lessening the dependence on foreign oil."

Alliance Autogas provides vehicle conversions, installs fuel stations at the fleet's base, provides data integration for fuel management systems, and offers safety, training and ongoing support for fleets. Alliance is also able to offer financing options that allow fleets to switch to autogas with no upfront costs.

"Paraco Gas is a welcome addition to our national network of partners working to meet the growing demand from U.S fleets for affordable alternative fuel," says Stuart Weidie, president of Alliance Autogas and founder of the industry coalition Autogas for America.

Paraco Gas has been ranked by LP Gas Magazine as the nation's 15th largest propane retailer. Headquartered in Rye Brook, New York, the company is one of the top regional marketers in the Northeast, serving New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, and Rhode Island. Additionally, the company has recently expanded its footprint to include areas in Georgia, Florida, and Illinois.

The Alliance Autogas partner network is dedicated to helping fleet managers convert to clean, economical, American-made autogas throughout the country. The partner network, consisting of propane marketers and conversion centers, currently spans 38 states. More information can be found at http://www.AllianceAutoGas.com
