Many years ago after witnessing a Gas Pump Fire / Explosion at a local Gas Station less than five minutes after the fact, I can assure you the entire scenario including blood, death and destruction is beyond scary and never to be forgotten.

one reason why we do not see propane powered cars...
What, as opposed to driving around with a tank full of liquid so volatile that it can propel a two-ton car 500 miles down a highway? Nope, never seen a car fire...
The biggest reason we don't see propane cars -- and they do exist, by the way -- is because it hasn't been worth the cost to commit to a wide-scale conversion of infrastructure from gasoline/diesel to propane.
