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)

Lpg was a waste product and some still is being burnt off , a lot is sold to china for a few cents a litre and we over pay for the rest , in real terms we could run a lot more cars on gas than currently with ease
