Cons against LPG that I come up with are the need for a second tank, the additional stuff in the motor compartment and the weight that comes with all this. Plus: more parts in the car equals bigger chance for failiure. And then there's probably the smaller chance to find a filling station that offers the right kind of LPG through the right nozzle (are they the same everywhere?). Diesel and petrol can be handeled in jerrycans and so you can buy from lorry drivers or locals. I've never seen this done with LPG.
At the moment I can't come up with pros.

And then there are countries like Lebanon. They do not allow private cars with Diesel engines and even the entry of tourists with them because they want to reserve all the Diesel they can get for trucks.
