Default Just got gas on ED falcon, cost $-30!!! Cheaper than free!

Its great too, obviously a little slower, but actually got a $30 bonus in the bank account!

I'm wrapped!

We booked it in just a few weeks ago and the gas guy came across a kit a couple of days ago just for this car only, so "beauty, whack it on" I said!

I thought it would have been dearer, but its even better than for free! How could you not put your falcon on gas?!

Did you have to pay out of your own pocket first or did the gas guy go to the gavrament for his money?

You pay first, then go to Medicare or Centrelink and hand in your grant form and they put $2000 on your account.

I would rather get taxed a lot less, than for everyone to be installing LPG systems from tax payers money

If you can afford to run your car on petrol, dont put it on LPG.

If you like cheap fuel, Tax benefits and helping the enviroment alittle, then go LPG.

Good luck with you new fuel motoring experience. BTW, you can have that slowness fixed......
