Surely it is not just LPG but also Hybrid under the scope on this issue.

One could drive on the electric motors/battery whilst in the zone(s) but use the petrol engine (or diesel) driving to the zone(s). However, how does the camera know which mode one is in? As for LPG, the govt. only gave a £10 VED reduction initially (I haven't checked to see if that is still the case. LPG should, in my opinion, be on par with electric or worst case between electric and petrol charges!
