Just been having a discussion about engine wear of an LPG car compared to a
petrol car.

Do you think that an LPG car with 100k on the clock, has the same engine
wear that a similar petrol car has at 50k? Or would you say more or less?

I hope this is clear enough for you to understand.

I think you won't know until you measure the wear. LPG isn't some magic
engine preserving juice, and a properly serviced car will show about the
same wear on both fuels at the same mileage.

Due to the fact that petrol is a solvent that will wash oil residue off
the cylinder walls if present in sufficient liquid concentrations,
engines that operate only on LPG (including cold starts in particular)
will have a wear rate advantage over petrol engines.

LPG dual fuel cars start on petrol. So at the time that wear is greatest
both engines are operating under the same conditions. LPG only vehicles
are still rare.

LPG dual fuel cars start on petrol.

Not necessarily, My RR starts fine on gas.
