Not sure how that compares to your Petrol prices? Here in UK LPG is typically half the petrol prices at the forecourt. Although you use more LPG by volume the running cost here per equivalent cost per mile, is much cheaper on LPG.
That said , duty has gone up a lot here too. So what we do is transfer from 47kg bottles via transfer pump, now that really is cheap as there's not any road duty tax on camping gas
(just don't tell anyone ! )

The closer it gets to the magical $1.00 per litre the closer I am of removing the lgp and installing a long range fuel cell instead.
The savings to operate on lpg needs to be considerable to make it worth while, otherwise there isnt any real incentive to stay "green".

My Patrol 4.5L

Petrol
16 Litres per 100K's @ $1.42 = $22.72 Cost per 100 K's
LPG
18 Litres per 100K's @ $0.628=$11.10 Cost per 100 K's
18 Litres per 100K's @$1 = $18 Cost per 100K's
18 Litres per 100K's @$1,262 = $22.72 per 100K's

At $1.262 you are at the same cost as Petrol per 100K's.

BTW figures for a Diesel
12 Litres per 100K's @$1.478 = $17.736 Cost per 100K's
Better Range

cant argue with those figures Bob but i like the longer range

Wow, wish we could get lgp for .62c per litre.
The average price up this way is around .89c per litre and has been as high as .96c per litre.
Under power/load my 4.5 uses 22 to 24 per 100k calculates out to just under $20.00 per 100k.

Best I start looking a long range fuel tank,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

wouldn't put it in at 80 cents , anyway bob can you tell me how many Ks you'll get on gas for $50, and how many Ks on ulp for $50
Starting to think it's run its race, and as BigFella says wheres the incentive to stay "GREEN"
It was only 10c a ltr with my other 4x4

ULP $50 would get 220 K's using 35.21 Litres @ $1.42 = $50
LPG $50 would get 450 K's using 79.62 Litres @ $0.628 = $50

These are Crusing Figures

I use 22 Litres per 100 K's on LPG towing my Camper Van but dont know what the consumption on ULP is

[The BigFella]

consumption figures as follows:
Nissan Patrol 4500 = HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPS

[threedogs]

So still worthwhile putting it in on ULP maybe 20-25 /100. Is yours sequential injection gas system as I think they have bugger all power loss, like gas research
