Over here (europe) LPG has 105 RON.

The oil indeed stays cleaner a lot longer then on petrol, but I do not think you should postprone the service intervals because of that though. The oil still 'wears' out at the same speed, and the same amount of metal bits will be in the oil and filter compared to running petrol.

Next to the oil, the plugs, combustion chambres and piston tops stay a lot cleaner aswell, which is indeed also a good thing.

Offtopic, but Niel, is LPG getting more populair in NZ? I lived in NZ for a year, but don't remember having seen any car running LPG. (maybe since I lived in Incercargill, might be more common in the north?)

Cheers, Ben
