To get any benefit out of LPG you have to raise the compression ratio of the engine. Nice thing is if I remember correctly, LPG has a octane rating around 100 or so.

I use to have an old conversion book about LPG that was written for farmer equipment. It was very thorough about what has to be done.

If you were to just attach the LPG you can expect to loose about 4 to 6 mpg. But with the octane rating you can experiment with compression, ignition advance, short duration high lift cams.
