All gassed up
Adam:
Well, I've filled my tank for the first time since the day I got gas (been away for 2 weeks), and reveils that fuel economy around town has been just under 20L per 100km, and at a gas price of 33c thats $6.60 per 100km around town.

Enjoy the gas prices as much as you can while it is so cheap!
Adam:
Exactly, gas prices seem very unregulated. In 1997 your could find LPG for 19c per liter. Gas prices seem to rise with petrol prices, getting as high as 50c a few years back. Which doesnt make sence since Australia produces a surplus of LPG, and shouldnt be linked with petrol pricers... profiteering?
Another bastard of a thing is the hige differences from station to station, some sell for 32 and others for 45, on the dame day in the metro area. Try going to the country! while gas can be 33c in Sydney, itll be 36 in Canberra, 45 in Cooma and 55 in Jindabyne! 22c in the liter difference?Does transportation really cost that much?

Yeah - it gets down to 31 cents at times. Still too much for a surplus by-product. The Gas companies get together every once in a while and bump up the prices. :grr Last time Boral did that they got busted for a couple of million!
As long as it is less that 50% of petrol we are in front.
