How your price's on gas?

Here it 80c

It's mostly in the low 70's but I've managed to find it at 66 with BP's discount card. What's more significant is that it has moved relative to the price of petrol. All those subsidised conversions must be having an effect . It's still much cheaper than petrol though.

I'm starting to get more motivated about fitting the mappable LPG mixture control that I've had half done for about 8 months, which is probably a good thing.

You can still get it for around 64 cents in Melbourne. Take off 4 cents more with voucher.

i dont always hear it but there is a slight noise with it, i believe its normal, but if you feel its a problem take it to your gas mechanic and speak to them about it

the price of fuel in melbourne at the moment is like 69.9c a litre its complete crap on the pricings, its not even worth that much to make since there is only two products needed to make it.

its not costing me at least $50-55 to fill a 75 litre tank dry/empty before i know it its going to be costing me the same to fill up for petrol im better off using petrol for my v8 instead.

Ah, but it's not how much that it costs to produce that matters, rather it's what we are prepared to pay for it. While the cost of oil, and consequently petrol, continues to rise, and more people realise the savings with LPG the price for LPG will rise. It will be cheaper than petrol for the forseeable future though, because the excise will still be lower (on an energy content basis) and the penalty of the reduced range between fills and (in most cases) the reduction in carrying capacity due to the tank fitment.

The price should be regulated
