    I read from some online mags that LPG costs 1/2 of that of octane 95 unleaded fuel. And that cars overseas have been modified to run on dual fuel systems.

    Here are some pics:

    This is the steel container for LPG situated in the trunk of a Hyundai XG dual fuel vehicle :-

    You can see the intake nozzle for LPG (red circle) :-

    A meter shows what sort of fuel the car is running on. The red LED indicates that it is running on regular petroleum :-

    Then I found this link that elaborates more on LPG, I wonder if this is of any significance? I don't recall you guys & gals mentioned this before? Or is it called something else in the US?
