You can get up to date maps of filling stations that supply gas from go-autogas.com
I never found a problem travelling around the country with a little forward planning - doesn't matter about running out (apart from cost ) cos you can run on petrol till you can fill up again

How "available" is LPG, nationwide? How about Europe?

i think most of europe is similar to here. France definately is.
Worth getting POI's in a tomtom if you do any serious driving anywhere (uk or europe) so you can plan to go via a garage.

The other thing of note about LPG systems on a efi V8 i sthe need for emulators to fool the ECU when on gas. These may just be required when using a single point system... I'm not sure.

Usually there is a need to give up some cargo space for an LPG tank... but there are lots of options to look at to minimise this problem. Don't let a fitter dictate to you the positioning... our 80 litre tank in the boot of an RRC was going to be parallel to the back seat... unitl I sked if it would fit fore & aft on the narrow side of the split rear seat. As a result we have an 80 litrs tank but can still take a dead body stretched out... should I ever get my way with the mother in law!

Yes they're required.  Otherwise the EFi will still pump petrol into the cylinders when the single point LPG unit is operating!

ye the tanks can be placed were you like (may lose a liter hear and ther) you can have the 80 litre  in the boot, dohnut tank were the spare wheel would go (under floor) and torpido tanks wich are mounted under the car. if you have multi point on say a v8 it also helps stop backfire when on gas.

every one has said everything that needs to be said realy,

gas is deffinetly the best option.
