Propane is called a fossil fuel because it was formed millions of years ago from the remains of tiny sea animals and plants.

Propane is one of the many fuels that are included in the liquefied petroleum (or LP-gas) family. In the United States, propane and LP-gas often mean the same thing, because propane is the most common type of LP gas used. Just as water can be a liquid or a gas (steam), so can propane. Under normal conditions, propane is a gas. Under pressure, propane becomes a liquid.
