The mechanic who is in Owerri said:
"You can now use your cooking gas instead of fuel. You know PMS is very expensive. As you can see, the generator is running smoothly. It is real and the safety is guaranteed."
A litre of PMS is sold above N500 per litre in Nigeria, while cooking gas is sold at N700 per kilogram in some cities, such as Port Harcourt.

Nigerians react as man uses cooking gas to run generator
"The conversion of fuel generator to cooking gas is an amazing concept. The beauty of it is that you'll have to use fuel again when PMS reduces. I have been using it for the past 1½ years."
@Msolmuzik commented:
"I have a friend using this before but had to abandon it then because gas was expensive but it is economically viable and making sense now."
