The UK is ( or was ) one of those places where LPG conversions seemed like a good idea, propane was really cheap for a number of years.
There really are options to petrol if you're willing to change your ways.
I had kind of forgotten that you can get petrol 24/7 when i drive the petrol car it's kind of foreign.
At the moment LPG is just under half the cost of petrol but this is under an EU agreement which was to last ten years. That period ends next year i think and I'll wager the government will whack the tax onto LPG. They did something similar with diesel in the past. The price of diesel was help down well below that of petrol until the point where 1 in 3 new cars sold was a diesel then BANG on goes the big tax and now it's more expensive than diesel.
The uptake on LPG hasn't been quite as fast as people expected and as such you can't get it everywhere unfortunately. You still have to have dual fuel capability because of this.
I did run my 4x4 on vegetable oil for a bit and it went fine on that but here it's illegal unless you pay fuel duty on it. Of course if you do that it's then no cheaper than diesel
