It’s half the price of regular unleaded, produced in Australia and comparably lower in emissions than petrol — yet the number of service stations offering LPG is dwindling across the country.

One exception is for camp cooking.
Induction cooking at camp is very energy intensive and requires a very large battery array. More compact solutions like 12V ovens and kettles are OK in a vehicle, as long as the appliance is designed specifically for this application and is of suitable quality.
Isobutane in an thermally engineered pot like a Jetboil is the most weight-effective way to prepare hot drinks or water for freeze-dried hot meals.
For larger camping solutions, and for cold-weather camping, Propane in refillable bottles is best.
Those little canisters of isobutane and propane are not (legally) refillable, but are recyclable and if campers are more willing to cook over gas than wood, they are less likely to burn down half of the state.
