I was always under the impression that LPG was not only propane. Did I miss something?

LPG in Australia is usually a mixture of propane and butane

Propane is the more valuable of the two because it has a higher vapour pressure than butane for a given temperature.
No problems with LPG being 100% propane
Good on them for developing this concept
