Answer 2

The cost to install a LPG system to a car costs much more than what you will save on fuel costs.

A car requires a custom built, crash-proof tank that's very expensive.

Also LPG doesn't work with outside temperatures below freezing

and the cost of LPG is only slightly below what gasoline if you do the conversion per pound of LP to a gallon of gas

Answer 3

No, the two will require different sized orifices at least. You would need a double system for that, which would be an excellent idea, except for the weight of the extra tank or tanks required.

Answer 4

LPG Liquefied petroleum gas, Methane as far as I am aware is purely a gas . So the system would not cater for the different propensity.
