There are actually tri-fuel vehicles available. Hybrid Drive + LPG = Tri-Fuel Marvel, Hybrid Drive + LPG = Tri-Fuel Marvel It was just logical. You would take the best automotive technology -- hybrid drive -- and marry it with the cleanest and most economical commercial fuel -- LPG. That’s just what Orbital Autogas did and the results are nothing short of stunning. Hybrid LPG is the new benchmark in fuel economy. Birth of the Tri-Fuel Revolution The Toyota Camry Hybrid, with its petrol-electric hybrid drive, is already one of the most economical cars on the market. But the engineers at Orbital were convinced that they could make it even better. They mated their state-of-the-art LPG liquid injection system with the Camry Hybrid. What they developed was an ultra-efficient tri-fuel vehicle that is truly revolutionary. How does LPG Liquid Injection Work? The Orbital system pumps LPG at high pressure into the inlet manifold, via a liquid LPG injector. The LPG immediately vapourises, which also causing the surrounding air to cool rapidly. This rapid cooling increases the air density which, in turn, improves engine efficiency and performance. The engine power output is improved, as is low end torque. The system is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) which is a dedicated computer that regulates the various components. The ECU works in tandem with the car’s own petrol computer to optimise the injection timing. Real World Test The LPG gurus at Orbital decided to conduct ,a real world test,. They took six vehicles with engines ranging from 4 to 8 cylinders, including two hybrids, and powered by either petrol, diesel or LPG: Ford Territory 2.7L Turbo Diesel Holden Commodore 6.0L LPG Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol Ford Falcon 4.0L LPG Toyota Camry Hybrid 2.5L Petrol Toyota Camry Hybrid 2.5L LPG The day consisted of a 144km drive around Sydney with all six vehicles. They started by carefully filling each one with fuel. Over the next eight hours, there were various driving conditions and numerous driver changes. They finished back where they started and refilled the vehicles. The Results In what was admittedly not a scientifically controlled test, the Camry Hybrid LPG was the clear winner. The cost of fuel was almost 40% less than for the identical petrol powered Camry Hybrid, which came in second best. The full-size 4.0L Ford Falcon, with Liquid Injection, came in third, trouncing the smaller 4-cylinder petrol powered Lancer. The Falcon cost of fuel was 23% less than that for the Lancer. It was also interesting to note that the 6.0L V8 LPG powered Holden actually had lower fuel costs than the 2.7L Turbo Diesel Territory. This is further proof that regardless of the engine displacement, liquid LPG injection works and works well. The LPG cars also don't have the issue of ,carcinogenic diesel exhaust fumes., Individual results may vary based on driving habits, fuel prices and driving conditions. The Future is Tri-Fuel LPG fuelled hybrid drive is the way of the future. It will appeal equally to cost conscious consumers and profit minded fleet buyers. Hybrid LPG conversions are available now. Please visit the ,Orbital Autogas web site, for more information.
There are 25 million cars around the world running on propane or a propane/butane blend. It's just that they call it "autogas". The following, from my blog, should help explain: What is LPG Autogas? LPG vs Petrol [ http://www.elgas.com.au/blog/1716-what-is-lpg-autogas-lpg-gas-conversion-lpg-vs-petrol ] What is LPG Autogas?

From my blog: ,Diesel Exhaust and Cancer | Alternatives, Diesel Exhaust and Cancer Would you knowingly put your family at risk for cancer? Certainly not! Yet many people are buying diesel powered cars and SUVs, evidently oblivious to the fact that diesel exhaust fumes cause cancer. World Health Organisation: "Diesel Exhaust is Carcinogenic" All of this was announced, back in 2012, by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO). IARC has the task of identifying causes of cancer. ,IARC says diesel exhaust is “carcinogenic to humans”., Their conclusion was unanimous, based on "compelling" scientific evidence. That’s right, diesel exhaust fumes are classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, along with smoking, asbestos and other dangerous substances. Experts stated that diesel exhaust was even more carcinogenic than second-hand cigarette smoke. Diesel fumes are linked to an increased risk of lung cancer and also linked to bladder cancer. Diesel exhaust consists of gases and soot. The gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. . The soot, or particulate matter, is made up of carbon, organic materials and trace metallic compounds. It's these fine particles that get into the deepest part of our lungs, where they may trigger asthma attacks, bronchitis, emphysema, heart disease and cancer. Granted that exposure to the diesel exhaust would be minimal from inside the car, but no safe maximum level of exposure has been determined. They simply do not know. Why Would You Buy a Diesel Car? Having this information must raise concerns if you own or are considering the purchase of a diesel car for your family. Petrol cars generally outperform diesels. They also typically cost around $2,000 less and weigh less, too. So why do people choose diesels over petrol cars? It’s because they do save on fuel costs. However, while they do well on open road driving, the savings when puttering around town are not as good. Prospective diesel buyers need to calculate the annual savings and compare them to the extra upfront cost of purchasing a diesel engine car. Payback periods in the 5 to 10 year range are not unusual and the fewer kilometers you drive a year, the longer it takes. LPG and Hybrids LPG and hybrids cars provide equal, if not better, fuel savings. It is the reason that the taxi industry was an early adopter of LPG (autogas) powered cars, as they are extremely sensitive to the cost of running their vehicles. These two alternatives also produce lower emissions than either diesel or petrol cars and those emissions are not carcinogenic. While the choices in hybrids are still quite limited, almost any car can be converted to run on LPG. ,The savings on LPG still remains about 50 to 65 cents per litre,. LPG becomes even more economical when it is combined with a 4-cylinder engine in a smaller car. Not only is running an LPG car economical, but Autogas also has other benefits. LPG is a cleaner burning fuel than petrol, so engine life is actually extended. Engine oil and spark plugs need changing less often with LPG, so service intervals can be increased. So, you could save even more money. LPG Hybrid - The Best of Both Worlds Toyota Hybrids, with their petrol-electric hybrid drive, are already amongst the most economical cars on the market. Now they have also been converted to run on LPG. Orbital Autogas mated their state-of-the-art LPG liquid injection system with the Camry Hybrid. What they developed, an ,LPG Hybrid,, is an ultra-efficient tri-fuel vehicle that is truly revolutionary. Makes you wonder why diesel buyers would overlook these alternatives?

I think it is mostly a matter of not making an already very complex system even more complicated. NB: It is very difficult to get the system to run so cleverly, that you actually reduce fuel consumption. My wife’s BMW 225xe plug-in hybrid has nog significant fuel reduction when used as a pure hybrid. It only reduces fuel consumption by pluggin in. That Toyota hybrids can manage to squeeze so much efficiency out of the system is quite amazing. Adding flex fuel makes things much more complicated. Sure, I think a LPG hybrid sounds great. But in reality, in Europe it is only common in Italy and the Netherlands, and extremely rare everywhere else. Belgium is even hostile towards it. There’s not enough potential market for it.
That was the miles of a Battery Electric Vehicle per gallon of Petrol equivalent in 2018. Here is the same map from 2012 So a low emissions LPG vehicle would have a miles per gallon hump to get over. Car manufacturers have not yet awakened to the idea that high mileage hybrids with a Stirling or a Free Piston engine generating electricity and Ultra-capacitors instead of batteries would perform better than today’s Internal Combustion Engine vehicles and have longer range and no “refill anxiety” that are the Achilles heels of BEVs. If they don’t wake up soon they are going to be bankrupted by BEV competition. Toyota had one in development and dropped it… Toyota Central R&D developing free-piston engine linear generator; envisioning multi-FPEG units for electric drive vehicles Enjoy your Explorations!
I am aware of a Toyota Camry Hybrid that was setup to run on LPG also, so it is physically possible (this was on a taxi in Adelaide, SA). There isn't a performance upgrade and the economy increase is from using a cheaper fuel (and current costs would make this minimal) and taking into account the installation costs and current costs of petrol and LPG, it isn't a financially viable option even for a taxi, and this is before taking into account loss of boot space
Do what my uncle did With his hybrid Toyota and have LPG installed. Now driving 200 km costs him about 30 PLN, and that’s including the fact that gasoline and LPG is much more expensive in Europe
There have been Hybrids that have used internal combustion engines using fuels other than gasoline. Hyundai manufactured a few LPG/electric hybrid vehicles. I'm not sure if they were sold outside the Korean Domestic Market. Toyota is reportedly developing a Diesel Hybrid for certain models (presumably 4x4 and commercial models), As Diesel Cars are being phased out in Europe, and (apart from trucks) aren't particularly popular in the US market, I doubt other companies will invest in anything other than conventional petrol hybrids in the future…
“,Why doesn’t everybody drive a Toyota Prius if they’re so fuel efficient?” Personally, I’ve been waiting for the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) to become available in the USA. My regular mileage is so low, I wouldn’t need to buy gas, ever. I would probably take a road-trip every month, just to keep the engine comfortable and put fresh gas in the tank. Maybe a trip to one of the Vancouvers, or a visit to Spokane. If I’m feeling really adventurous, maybe a trip to the Salt Lake City Temple. I haven’t gone there since ‘75. My only big question about hybrids, is “Why do they all use gasoline engines?” A diesel engine gets better mileage, plus you can burn used cooking oil. Or, perhaps LPG/propane. You could share it with a travel trailer or cook stove. How about a PHEV RV burning propane? Stop at every rest area to recharge.
