Always wanted to make a high compression turbo on gas. 
For me it wouldnt be worth the conversion though, I only use 1 tank of petrol per month.
You have to drive a fair bit per week to make it worth it... anyone done the maths?
It was Colby hehe.

Sorry to dig here lads, but i have an interesting experiment. As some will know, and some wont, my pinny is on LPG. In this thread we have been calculating how many L/100km. I obviously cant use this effectively, as mine will be way higher. Instead, i thought we could calculate how much it costs each of us to drive that 100km, using the x amount of litres times the current price of your fuel. Mine is as follows...

Use 48 litres every tank.
Get 320km driving very un-sedately.
Therefore, 48/320 = 0.15 x  100 = 15L/100km.

I only buy my gas at 53.9c/L now or lower (price has risen so much in 10 months)...
So, 53.9c/L x 15L = .539 x 15L = 8.085

i.e $8.09 per 100km.

I do not intend to start a debate about power loss on LPG etc, as i know that i have lost power, just thought it would be interesting to compare the costs...
Other posts in reply to my question in that thread, all the petrol boys answer ranged from $12-$21/100km travelled, and the better figures were seen on highways, my figures were city driving. So cost per 100km certainly works in the favour of LPG  :o
