My consumption is now 16.9L/100kms which will increase 10% with LPG so I expect abt 18.5L/100kms.

Gas 16.9 x 0.95= 16.005 Eur/100kms
LPG 18.5 x 0.44= 8.096 Eur/100kms

It is exactly half the price so if I want to return my 1900 Eur, I need to drive 23500 kilometers which is my 4 month time.

For us Europeans it make a huge difference because of petrol costs. If I was in the States I would neve think of it since it is even cheaper than LPG.
