and the gas conversions aren't even a plus in the grand scheme of things,as LPG is going to rise in a few years time the same as petrol is as it's slotted to be hit with an excise as well.
you'll get a few years of slightly cheaper fuel,but it'll go up in price long before you've made back the cost of the conversion,and then you're driving a less-fuel efficient and less pewerful car,and paying the same fuel price as the rest of us.
Fuel pricing is disgusting. we get rorted by the fuel companies at my work as well. we have a single bowser and sell normal unleaded. our buying price for the small amount we go through (2000-2500L) is close to 10c a litre higher than the shell servo up the road from us. we only manage to sell fuel to our account paying customers,and to people who don't mind paying extra for the full driveway service that we offer. funnily enough though,we're actually 10c/L cheaper than most servos atm at $1.21/L,which is 5c more per litre than we paid for it a couple of months ago,back when fuel was $1.10/L.
all four of the cars that we run here at home run on premium unleaded. it's a further slap in the face that that costs so much more than normal unleaded does,which is already so obscenely expensive,for no valid reason. it's blatant profiteering,simple as that. they know we need to buy fuel,and they're the only ones selling it,so we're held at their mercy.

. I paid $1.42 for V-Power today coz I was in real need of some petrol, but only pumped $20 worth coz could only see the $$ rise but the the fuel amount count was going no where! That's the most I've paid in ages.
