multi point or single point ?

by the way its a 2001 blue like yours..

Ah ok. I get you. Have you checked the HT leads and spark plugs? LPG has a higher octane rating than petrol (102-108) so anything detrimental will be exacerbated under petrol load.

looking at it from a petrol only perspective, what will cause performance to reduce..

Clogged injectors by over use of LPG.
