LPG Price Variance ???

Yip is damn crook.
Bottled LPG is even worse and a massive roort and gouging exercise.

That is the very reason I got a 3.0 turbo diesel and dumped my FJ60 on gas !
At anything above 70 cents a litre for LPG, it's cheaper to just run the bugger on petrol. The amount of LPG used to go 300 klm is insane when you pay that much for it.

Part (not all) of the reason for the expence is the fact that very few people buy LPG up there, compared to petrol or diesel.

And lets face it, these people are there to make money, not friends.

If they're not allowed to make a profit, then they may as well turn off the lights and go home !

Its just a big rip off i feel. I can understand there are high transport costs because when the transport diesel and petrol they may do lots of stations in different towns along the way, and as lpg is not available everywhere it would cost more to transport. But double the price???? You just need to do your sums. I will continue to run a dual fuel car at the moment because a good 80-90% of my driving is in the city where lpg is in the 35-45c bracket. I can run around at better than $10/100km.I am still way in front imo when i go away and have to spend more on petrol and lpg(where i can get it) over the 12 month period. If you do lots of outback or country driving change to a diesel.

"Perth about 41 c/litre and Kununurra up the top end of WA 82 c/litre"

WHOA!!!!

Time to start bottling our own farts I think.

G'Day,
If you think it might make a difference get stuck into the ALPGA, this is the national body that theoretically looks after LPG industry but while petrol companies control the sale and distribution of this stuff I dont think you have much chance of changing things.Maybe buy your own tanker and cart LPG up to the NW. 50.000 litres @ 40CPL = $20,000 which is not too bad to go to Pt Hedland or Broome eh!!!! Probably the reason fuel companies have the biggest and flashest trucks!

Havent got a clue. Ive used lpg on different cars over the last 20 years. It used to be about a third off the price of ulp, now its about half, whats changed.

Wouldnt have a clue.

Melbourn prices yesterday:

lowest 33 cents
Highets 49.9 cents

In Adelaide at the moment it ranges from about 39.9c/l (minus 4c sometimes) on Wednesday afternoon to 54.9c/l on Saturday mornings. Now, tell me how the gas price can increase by that much during the week? I filled up at woolies for 35.9c/l last week, gotta be happy about that!

Think about it,,

Prices at their highest Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, being Thursday and Friday pay days and pension days and Saturdays, everyone going for a drive. Come back to Monday everyone back to work, prices come down.

I recently sold my dual fj60 cause of the price of gas. I can remember 2 years ago filling up all the time for about 25 cents and litre! Now its double that...
