Why has BBQ fuel suddenly crept over the 64c mark all over Melbourne, not to mention the ripoff merchants selling it for 67c? : Lots of ppl having BBQ's leading up to easter or what. Any cent paid for gas is too much, its just a waste product. Having lots of fun looking out for servos that sell for less than 60c. :

not a waste product, a biproduct.. but yes i'm equally as frustrated. Was filling at 48 cents for ages, now i'm lucky to get it under 60, most of the time 65.

Rudd is holding back on tax reform submission, I bet one of the tax reforms is
the increased fuel excise on LPG to 38.5 cents/litre now that everyone ran out and converted their cars with government subsidy. ya get nuttin' for nuttin' |

You can go to Supagas and fill your car with 100% propane & it only cost's you 55.6 cent per liter.

why is there an excise on any fuel at all, the government has no contribution to the manufacture, distribution or sale of the product, yet taxes it heavily...

please explain how having a v8 running at around 95% of unleaded power, and costing less than a fiesta to run, is similar to owning a cab? |

i agree, i guess i concede...my gripe then is with the ridiculous expenses the pollies get(funded by us!) they squander our money like it's free. if there was a better strategy in place to ensure the money was spent better, then i bet things like rego hikes, fuel taxes and the like might....just....dissapear...
agree on your post above though

Maybe the fuel companies now realise that with liquid LPG injection, LPG is now a performance fuel :

For those of you who care propane and butane are odourless. An odorant is added in the production phase so you know when you are about to go boom!

Only time it'll go boom is if it is poorly maintained. Been driving on LPG for just over 10 years now. Saved a bucket load of cash using it. I can remember when it cost less than $15 to fill up. Now, I'm pushing about $35 each fill which sees me through nearly 500kms.

Will go boom between 2%-9% in atmosphere. I wasn't referring to cars in particular. |
