LPG burns faster than petrol and diesel and therefore less mileage per gallon (New technology might have improve this ratio). I would say this LPG saves about 33% in fuel cost compared with petrol not 50% as advertised in many websites. If you are not a heavy user like myself, i would suggest hypermilling not LPG conversion.
