I've got a toyota hdj80 (turbo diesel wagon) that gets about 20-26 US miles/gallon
I've run it on SVO, and plan to add a second tank and heater system in the future. Biodiesel is also an option.
Depending on your needs, this may be a decent solution for you.
From what I have read, it is not practical to convert a diesel to LPG. But there are folks who are adding propane or LPG into the air intake to make the diesel burn more cleanly. Apparently there is some sort of catalytic reaction that makes the diesel burn more completely when there is propane mixed in. It also cools the intake charge, which allows for higher air density and better performance- which can be made to be more efficiency (or more power).
as with most driving, the nut behind the wheel makes the largest difference.
