yes, it all would be interesting to try, have a vehicle run on LPG, but i live here in northwest montana, and so it wouldn't be really practical.

Well, you're the one who inquired about it ;)

As far as your 'economy problems': I don't know a lot about the DGV Weber other then it's a progressive carb which should get reasonable milage. If you think your engine is running rich on acceleration you might have to tinker with jets, float level or accelerator pump, but as I said, I dunno enough about the DGV.
Loss of power on acceleration however, is more often related to a mixture that's too lean, rather then too rich.

If you realy think the carb tuning is the problem, you might want to start a new thread on that and get some helpfull reply's from people that DO know the DGV unlike me...

Cheers, Ben
