Do your cabs/taxis run LPG over there? Cabs in Australia do and they get twice the engine lifespan (mileage?) of a regular gasoline motor - that was my selling point... not to mention the fact that LPG is half the price of regular gasoline here. Double win.
If you run straight LPG (not dual fuel) you can easily tune a motor to get the same HP as a gasoline engine, no question. Sure the power curve is a little different between the two fuels, but it's like comparing a shoe to a boot... there's not much difference unless you spend more time relying on a dyno graph rather than, ummm, driving. It's not a night and day difference by any measure.
My 2 cents.
