Just refilled the 8.5kg gas bottle for my caravan at the Metro, on Maitland Rd. at Abermain for $11.95. The bottle was dead empty. Beats exchange at Wollies
Caltex for 32 or Bunnings for 26, and I get to keep my six month old bottle. Cheering.

Just had an idea. Why can't the Explore Oz team set up a section within this wonderful site, where all sorts of money saving experiences can be brought to the members attention. There must be dozens of ideas, hints, experiences etc that can be accessed via the members section, to save us all a buck, that can be put to better use.
Cheers and beers, from Fred.

G'day fellow Exploroz viewers, we do gas bottle refills by the Kg, what we do is weigh the bottle, fill it then weigh it again, you are then charged $3.00 per Kg, sometimes it may cost $3.00 then sometimes it may cost $27.00 depends on the size of the bottle and how much went in, you would be supprised at how many customers come in thinking there bottle is almost empty only to find out that it's only taken 1 to 2 Kg.
How many times have you thought about getting a few mates over for a BBQ and your thinking to yourself, i only filled that 9Kg bottle the last BBQ we had, seems pretty full, oh
well, better to be safe than sorry, i'll go and swap it anyway, you leave the servo almost $30.00 lighter where it probably only needed 1Kg ( or less ) you don't pay for a full tank of petrol if you only need 10 litres, even our gas supplier says we should be charging by the bottle, but morally i think it's wrong.
so if anyone is needing there bottles filled, we're at 92 Brickworks Rd, Kallangur,
Brisbane ( Northside )
Cheers, Dave.

Dave, I think your system should be law, just like weights and measures control every other consumable product.
