Compare to CNG conversion for existing motors, tanks we have experience with, all current fuel distribution infrastructure in place already, enormous sovereign reserves...

Not quite. The storage pressure for CNG is much higher. The tanks have much thicker walls & are heaps heavier.
To re-fill CNG is much slower. I remember one I knew of where he attached the car to a pump in his own garage & re-filled it overnight.
None of the existing LPG infrastructure is suitable. An additional "huge array of charging stations" is what would be required for CNG.
I'm a big fan of LPG, I believe Holden & Ford & the Aussie LPG industry did it better than elsewhere in the world & we have heaps of it.
