Ill take your word, my memory is diesel has always been around the same as petrol. Which is odd...but hey, our transport system basically runs on it so if your going to make some cash via exercise....
It will take a long time, disaster, or a pretty major tax to get LPG up to PULP in a hurry.
LPG availability is good for the areas in which its used. I would hazzard a generalisation and say most regional areas do not have a great uptake because most of those people use diesel more (with their equipment etc) so no point putting pumps there if its not being used...bit of a catch 22 though if you want people to buy LPG cars.
That being said the taxi fleet alone would make the excise worth while from the govs POV.
