Straight gas is the way, remember duel fuel puts more weight on your car.

Actually, you can't (remove the cat.). Even with a straight gas setup, all emissions gear, with the exception of that for evaporative emissions (carbon canister etc.) must be in place, together with closed loop mixture control. You can swap/add a gas carb. and make engine internal changes to suit LPG though.

duel fuel handy, but not efficient
gas only, more efficient (porpose biult)
petol only, most efficient

Yeah, if what the man says is true, I was driving a massively defectable bomb for two years that managed to get through two blue slip inspections. In NSW anyway I am absolutely certain that LPG bypasses emissisions requirements.

Hmm, basically true, especially by old school standards. Some of the new LPG vapour injection systems are looking very promising in terms of fuel efficiency though. Anyway, while it may be less fuel efficient in most cases, the fact remains that LPG is generally more cost efficient.

Everyone knows that LPG has a higher RON rating right? And as i was researching these LPG injection systems such as Gti Stealth I found that the power curve is higher then petrol.
that is true higher octane means you can put more
fuel in without flooding and generating more power
