The Saudis Are Lying About Their Oil Production?

It's all matter of regulatory climate. In Poland, there are millions of cars driving on LPG every day. Most gas stations offer LPG in addition to gas and diesel fuel. Stations don't require any proof of inspection, and moreover most of them are self-serve. There are plenty of shops that will retrofit any car (even diesels!) for LPG for about $500-1000. This is just a mundane, everyday thing.

I owned an LPG-fueled car and it was really no different than gas-fueled one, other than more frequent need for refuel (I had a small tank installed where the spare tire used to be, and it only had around 100 miles of range).

LPG != NG. Natural Gas has to be stored as a gas, and has less energy than propane, so NG tanks have to be much larger.

Natural gas contains propane as one of it components, so it can be filtered out. You can also refine shorter chains of hydrocarbons in natural gas to make propane.

Is that cost effective though?

LPG is used in Poland because it's significantly cheaper than gasoline, so... yes?
