How is it harder?
LPG requires a special tanker for transport and then requires special tanks to be fitted at servos to hold it.
Who pays for all this? YOU?
And what makes you think we can supply all of the cars on the road with LPG?
Less than 1% of cars are LPG so you would have to increase production by more than 100 times (10,000%).
Are you sure there is enough LPG available?
And the reason for this? To save a TINY amount of money.
Other reasons why pure LPG is impractical in regional areas.
1) You can't carry extra in jerry cans.
2) You can't fill a car on the side of the road if you run out.
3) You can't move fuel from one vehicle to another in an emergency.
4) It is illegal to work on your car unless you have a gas license.
So you really can't travel more than a few hundred km from a servo or stay out for extended periods and if you run out you are stuffed.
Again, I have still to hear a reason for LPG other than cost (oh except for the greenie crap that it is "cleaner" which will be ok until petrol is gone and then LPG will be evil)
