Sounds like there is a system to work with FSI from what Mark was saying, just not his!
Liquid injection LPG technology is great for petrol engines. Cool dense charge + higher octane = more power + cheaper to run!
I just dont want the hassle of the large tank in my boot.
I had LPG in an old Commodore once, it was fiddly, agricultural (both in installation and operation) and robbed half the boot. The modern systems are far better I'm sure, but the government subsidies here arent that great for an $8k+ conversion and I only do 10,000km a year in the old girl, so it would take years to reap any economical benefit.

Gets complicated doesn't it!
So the cooling effect of sub zero LPG expansion prior to combustion isn't sufficient to cool them?
You used to get problems with seals drying out and making petrol unreliable in carbys, that's partly why you used to start up and shut down on petrol, and I used to generally run for a day a week on petrol too (freezing converters was another reason for using petrol on start up to running temp - coolant hoses heated the converter)
