What about LPG prices? why are we paying more than three times as much for C482 gas as car gas, it is the same gas, I have seen the truck fill both the bouser gas and the C482 gas at the servo. Where can I get the little black market adaptor that some people have so they can fill their C482 cylinders with auto gas? Once again we are being ripped offrotten , not
grey nomads, but greysheep for the fleecing

Now i'm not sure what the price of LPG is in wherever you are but, here in
Karratha, you'd be lucky to get it under 90c a litre!!! Ha, no longer a cost effective means of fueling ya car hey. What gets under my skin is,
well can anyone tell me honestly that it costs over 50c per litre to transport LPG from
Perth to here???? I'm almost certain the transport cost would be more like 5 to 10c per litre transported....oh and the same goes for Diesel and Petrol......same story.....just exploit the tax payer some more hey....why not, seems they have plenty of cash!

43c here and i am interested to find this answer out too. One of the warehouses we used to rent had an adapter on the lpg pump and all the guys used to bring in the bbq bottles to fill.

Auto LPG is variable on composition (no stanards for auto gas)
Auto LPG also makes poor heating for barbies - takes for ever to get the
water boiled / egg fried etc.

I wouldn't be using auto LPG in my BBQ. It would be fine most of the time but the compostion of LPG can vary considerably so you really don't know what you are getting. For the sake of a few dollars, I'll stick to proper BBQ gas.

Saw LPG for 39.3 here in
Melbourne this afternoon then take off an extra 10c/litre with the new Coles/Safeway shopper dockets to bring it down to 29.3.
Gotta love LPG here in
Melbourne ;-)

G/day Jamiel, Mate I was always under the impression that auto & C482 gas were two different animals... fraught with danger if used for the opposite purpose... something to do with the butane/ propane mixtures, so THEY said!!!! Nothing like a good scare campaign to put the wind up the punters aye??? Now I’m off to work on my adaptor. Thanks for that info. Cheers RG

C482 gas & lpg are the same. My cousin delivers gas & the same gas fills both lpg pump fuel & those large tanks that roadhouses & big restaurants have.
Its the biggest scare campaign in history.
My father in law has been using pump lpg for household gas for years. Illegal ? yes . dangerous ? absolutely not ! just visit your local wrecker for a filler & you can work out the rest . If you have a vehicle with lpg its even better.
$120+ for bought gas vs $50-60 pump fill biggest scam going

economies of scale and losses when theyfill a bottle I reckon. They dont do self serve for bottles either and it comes in a big bottle not like they do it with the tankers at the automobile outlets.
owen
