It should theoretically be possible. However, it would be easier and probably cheaper just to replace the engine with one designed for gasoline.

How many gallons of LP does a 100 lb tank hold?
Simple answer: 100 pounds of Propane => 100 / 4.24 = 23.6 gal the "standard" LP cylinder for a gas grill is 20 pounds = 4.7 gallons The conversion for LP is Gallons x 4.24 = Pounds if one is trying to compare LP to gasoline, one must also consider that LP provides about 80% of the energy of gasoline. In a small portable generator, it is nearly transparent, but if one wishes to convert a car to LP one gets less mpg and hp.
What do you need to do to convert a 1995 chevrolet 3500 hd diesel motor to a gasoline motor?

What type of energy is generated from car engines?
The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally. The engine turns the explosion that takes place into Horsepower & Torque. Torque gets the car moving and Horspower keeps it moving.
If you convert a gas car to electric how do you reprogram the computer that controlled the gas engine and its components?
The "...convert a gas car to electric..." implies removal of the gasoline engine and replacing it with an electric motor, creating an all electric car. If on the other hand you intend to keep the gasoline engine and use it when the batteries are low, then you will have created a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. With that qualification, and the assumption that you meant a full conversion from gasoline to electric, then the answer to your question is that IF the gasoline engine is removed from service, then the computer "that controlled the gas engine and its components" is no longer necessary and can be removed also. Also, the portion of your question relating to the gasoline engine computer suggests your thinking that it could be reprogrammed somehow to control the electric motor. Since that computer is designed for and is dedicated to the gasoline engine, it cannot be be reprogrammed and used to control the electric motor(s).

Do people use LPG system in their car in US?
I assume LPG means liquid propane gas. Few automobiles in the US are powered this by lp gas. Some large companies such as utility contractors use lp gas for their trucks, and many companies use lp gas for fork lifts and other such machinery. The expense of converting an engine from gasoline to lp, coupled with the relatively low cost and availability of gasoline (gas prices are rising, but compared to Europe prices here are very low indeed)provide very little motivation to power an automobile in this manner.
