Default LPG risen to 54 cents?

Is there a reason for gas to have gone up 11 cents a liter?????

I thought it was gonna only go up 2 cents a year until it hits 12 cents?

People like you are the reason the government gets away with this.

Not all of us are rich and this stupid government takes money in every tiny way possible.

Here in Perth there's a couple of spots where you can get it for 37.9 but one of them is going up to 55 tomorrow and another is coming down 2 cents. WTF.

Petrol stations jack up prices for no reason and lower them to prices that are still too high.

It's life. We need to breathe in and move on, because there is nothing we can do.

Unless we go Out on Patrol.

8 years ago I was driving a gas falcon, gas was 16 cents. Almost 400% in 8 years, that is excessive.

Whoa steady on there. No need for that and the government has nothing to do with it the dodgy oil companies are the ones making the $$$.

You think 54cpl is bad, recently when I was up in Cairns LPG was up over 70cpl. ULP was 119cpl.

its been 64.9c - 69.9c around gladstone where i need to go to fill up( about 50km north to nearest spot or 100km south) for a year or more.

i was paying up to 79c in western NSW last time i was down there a couple of months ago.

i havent heard anything on the news about big price rises, maybe just the local guys after an early christmas bonus.
