LPG is the acronym for "liquid propane gas." I'm fairly confident that it's heavier than air, since it's moved about on gigantic tanker ships that don't drift off the sea. Also, "liquid" is a bit of a give-away in this regard. Propane gas is a hydrocarbon related to "natural" gas. Among other things, they have carbon atoms in common. Air is 80% nitrogen and about 20% oxygen (ignoring trace gasses). Carbon atoms are heavy for hydrogen to carry around. So propane is heavier than air even as a gas. As a gas it is 1.55 times the weight of air.

argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.
