metro on lpg?

searched a fare amount and did'ent come up with any thing much.

any one run LP thru a 1.0L and 5sp, its a late model 2 dr Chevy metro.
so far my research is coming up with an average loss of a 20% with +/- of 5% on LP

being TBI it seems it shouldn't take much to convert one. from what im reading.

i figure it should get around 43 to 47 maybe more, maybe less? figuring it would be high 50s on E0 gas with modest effort.

local to me, LP is running about $1.50 now and should top out at the end of winter around $2.30 or less.

Does/did anybody make an after-market LPG "kit" for that vehicle?

other then some home brew swaps on you tube thats all ive found.
looks like a general mixer and still using the OE TBI intake for running on gas
the 2nd one looks much cleaner. but shows little of the under the hood.

havent found any real mpg numbers on LP ether.

A closed-loop system is not that hard to adapt. But LPG is worse than ethanol on cold starts.
