Hariesh,

The Hyundai Accent 1.6 should give you between 10-11kmpl in city if driven sedately while on the highway the number should climb to about 14kmpl.

Fitting of LPG does not harm the engine to a great extent. You can go in for it with peace of mind. Yes, running it both on petrol and LPG is just fine. Manufacturers like Maruti have launched offerings which have factory-fitted LPG kits and this is the testimony to LPG being successful.
