Default LPG consumption and engine life

'95 3 litres 24V 960, singlepoint (old technology, less efficient) Tartarini Tek '97 LPG system, thirsty autobox:

On LPG... 19 mpg on motorway, 14 mpg around town. I'm 'featherfooted' on accelerator and brake, hate unnecessary braking, observe town speed limits... and on the motorway like to sit at a constant 'cruising' speed - albeit highish.

Previous owner had done "52,000 miles, almost all on LPG," he claimed, after getting it converted at 80,000. I've since added 55,000 miles, 99.99% on LPG.
Therefore (possibly) as much as 107,000 miles on LPG on an engine that has done 187,000 total.

Compressions checked fine about 6,000 miles ago; runs sweet as a nut.
