No, that's why the put the excise up last year.
No doubt to recoup the cost of the rebate.

Another price rise tomorrow.
I'm told it will be going up about 12 cents a litre due to government lifting excise again.

It was 85c a litre in Ballarat, it'll be cheaper to run my daily on E10 soon, as I only get 350km to a tank of LPG (60 litres).

I spoke to friend of mine who owns a servo he told me the service stations are paying 20c a litre more for gas now so they're passing it on to the consumer don't expect to see gas under 88-90c in the next couple weeks

The actual price rise shouldn't have been 20c a litre. More like 15c. I was told it was 99c on the peninsula.
LPG doesn't have a price cycle like petrol does. One price is paid per month so it should only change once a month. Profiteering at it's finest, yet the ACCC won't do jack.

99.9 at the local Caltex near Nelson Bay. Took me by surprise as the last time I took notice it was around 75cpl. I can remember when it was in the 50's, I also remember petrol being under $1, and the uproar when it jumped from 60 odd to 80's. A mate was a manager at a BP and tried to tell me it wuld never go over $1 as the bowsers only went to 99.9, lying (P)rick.

My local servo is about 82c, warrnambool apco was 75ish and colac BP was 95.9 yesterday, I pulled the nozzle out, seen the price, hung it up and went to tell the lady I wasn't paying that much.

I understnad that 99cents is very expensive for gas, but its still cheaper then paying $1.70 for premium...
So why the constant bitching from gas users? I mean in general, people who use gas always complain about the bowser price the most.

gas is a rip now used to be worthwhile. better off going to e85 for the better octane rating then u dont need a dirty tank in the back anywhere just use what u have.
