a little more info PRIME Minister John Howard has outlined a $1.6 billion, eight-year program to ease the pain of high petrol prices on motorists. Outlining a multi-pronged plan, Mr Howard said from today the Government would contribute $1000 towards the purchase cost of new factory-fitted LPG powered vehicles. The Government will also provide a $2000 grant to the cost of converting cars to LPG for private use. Mr Howard said LPG would, on the fuel bill for a six cylinder vehicle travelling 15,000 kilometres a year, save around $27 a week or $1400 a year in fuel costs. from www.news.com.au (http://www.news.com.au)

Did you all know the Federal Goverment is bringing a new tax to LPG from 2009 Its set to increase the cost 2.5c per year till there is a 12.5 cent tax on LPG sales. Funny how he gives out a grant but introduces a tax that will push the price of LPG up and up each year regardless of world price. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Its officially confirmed that its a 2000 dollar grant... According to NOVA 96.9... Im almost certain its a Trap!!!!! The Goverment is trying to con people into swithing to gas so that in a few years they will put tax on LPG and we start paying prices like petrol... watch the price of LPG go up in the next couple of years.... My 2 Cents Jim
