From what I have read is IS the fuel, vaporized gasoline is suppose to be a lot more powerful than almost all other fuels.

30% is the ideal but even 40/50% less fuel would nearly triple or at lease double MPG.

On my Ford/Mercury that could mean: 75 MPG to 60 MPG.

On my van it could mean 32 MPG....

It is the only WONDER MPG improvement I can see having ANY chance of producing great MPG.

I do not expect 100 or 200 MPG.

AND it is the only system that I can find that could be added or retro fitted to any gasoline burning car within reasonable costs a minor changes, and you can keep your factory stock FI and all ITS smog junk intact and thus not break any laws. (I believe any way..)

So there is probably more to it.

So it could be an engine tuning issue that i do not see the mpg increase. But thenagain cars made specifically for lpg do not exhibit such remarkable mpg improvements either so there must be more to it.

Don't let me discourage you. You can get some mpg gains. If not you will end up with a system that can conver used motor oil and waste vegetable oil to fuel on the fly...
