Hi

In Australia there is two types of LPG conversions

Price of petrol 90c to $1.00 a litre
price of LPG around 50c to 60c a litre

Dual fuel (petrol/LPG)
This set up was first used by taxis and became more common. It is installed in new fords by ford Australia to be used by anybody
Dual fuel setups can only be tuned for one fuel so offend the LPG runs rich

LPG only

This setup is the best the engine can be built and tuned to suit LPG. This set up is commonly used in performance application both N/A and turbo & supercharging

I have intension of using LPG only setup on my 74 144gl that I am slowly resto/modding

I also have a 82 244DL with a carby engine. I am going to use a High compression/performance 2.3L volvo engine and run it on LPG only. Insteed of converting it to CIS injection
