It doesn't seem cheap, the cost jumped from mid $3.50s really quick! And now it's about $4.54, I've seen gas as high as $4.69. Lots of people are guessing that in the summer it'll hit $5/gallon!

But I did the calculations for liters and yes, gas is cheaper here than in AU.

Never went over .80cpl here in Melb., looked like it was going to, but fell back thank God

U gota luv LPG, gives you big car performance and less than miserly 4cyl buzz box like running costs.

I've kept a detailed log of my fuel usage over the last 9 months and 15,860kms since I've had my 380.

I always fill up at either the Shell (Optimax 98) or the BP (Ultimate) in Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.

Prices have ranged between: $1.48/L - $1.73/L, with the average over that time (1,439L used) being $1.58/L.

My last fuel up on 29/05/2012 was $1.50/L, for 62.55L / 754km trip at 8.30L/100km.

Driving down Bells Line of Road, Kurmond, NSW toward Richmond, 91ron (NOT E10) $1.37. Sharp right into the servo to fill up. 10k further down same road, $1.49. 12 cents a liter saving? That's for me.
