Propane is C3H8
Cyclopropane is C3H6..................Therefore they have different chemical compositions and are completely different molecules and not isomers.

Propene C3H6 is however an isomer of cyclopropane

Is there a diffeence between LP gas and propane?

Propane is a 3-carbon alkane. The chemical formula is of propane is C3H8. There isn't but one molecule structure for propane. In that respect, there is only one type of propane. It has no isomers. There may be differences in the purity of the commercial product, some having higher or lower concentration of propane. There are also numerous producers of propane. Each would brand their product differently.
