Dual Gas/Petrol versus Diesel Fuel systems in Landcruiser

I think you answered your own question, "is gas that hard to get in the outback" the short answer is yes.

In most areas away from the larger towns petrol and deisel are about the same price, you just get better range from the deisel.

See if you can get a Troopy with dual tanks, that 180lt of deisel, which could get you 11-1200k.

Whatever you end up buying, make sure you fit a Fitch!

It would seem that it can solve all your problems and probably help bring stability to the Middle East and make a dent in world poverty at the same time.

Hi huns,
As a big fan of lpg I will give you my thoughts. In all honesty a trip like you are planning would be better done in a diesel. Lpg outside the metro area is not cheap at all. I can justify it because i do 500kms a week in the city and save heaps inbetween the trips i do. The diesel would give you the range you wanted without having to carry extra fuel. I run mainly on ulp when in the bush (75lt ulp tank) and coupled with my 115 of gas get a good range, but it takes a lot of planning to make it work as well as carrying jerries. If you were planning to spend long periods in areas with lpg available i would say go the dual fuel, but it sounds like diesel is more suited to your requirements.
