that's good kays for a 92vp,

fuel consumption will be pretty high for short trips with lotsa traffic. it'll get upto about 18-19 ltr/km but will drop a lot to about 10-11 on the freeways so it depends where you drive.
If you drive it hard it'll be thirsty, but not as bad as the older carburettor V8s.
But with a decent flowign (80%) exhaust they sound very nice.

Getting it converted with cost around 2,000 mark. that includes a more comprehensive tuning of the car for gas.
you can get cheaper conversions but there's a less chance of getting comparable performance to petrol.

In terms of getting LPG, you have to think about the long term. How long will u own the car? Or are you thinking of doing it up?

If you think that you'll end up saving money, then go for it.
good luck and wat is a VP SE?
