Coleman White Gas/Unleaded Stoves- Cheap, cheap cooking

But propane is not cheap and the green bottles are now somethng like 9$ for 2 of them in my Home Despot, and getting  20Lb propane tank to refill them with is some 60$ initially then ~25 for each refill, and one needs a place to carry that large unwieldy tank.
Seeing as my rig will be diesel powered I plan to use propane on everything possible. But that's only because I have the space underneath on the frame of the bus to mount my 30 gallon propane tank that I am taking off another truck I own. Both vehicles are ford 90's model frames so the switch "shouldn't" be that hard. 
I do have an old coleman 2 burner stove and a couple lanterns. they all run on unleaded gas.  White gas is basically unleaded. I just keep running into scarcity of finding the mantels for the lanterns. The mantels do not travel well once used.
