less cars : roll on $2 per litre
Is it just my imagination, or are there actually less cars out there?
Seems to me that it is starting to reduce slightly. Roll on $2 per litre. |

My wife commutes along Heidelberg Rd (Melbourne) and swears there are fewer cars around to ruin her daily cycle since the price of petrol sky-rocketed |

And why the hell do they decide to massively subsidise conversion to LPG[1]? By negating one of the most effective limiting factors to car use they're just delaying the inevitable. Graeme [1] Other than pandering to the masses and buying votes of course. |

Rather than lead (perish the thought ... this federal government?!), they're just sweeping the problem under the carpet for another 4 years. Ride yer bike ... |

Did you hear Howard mention that there are currently damn-all taxes on LPG (other than GST) and that these taxes will be ramped up until in 2012 they will be the same as those on Petrol? No? Maybe he forgot he passed those changes last year? Theo |

This would be a classic example of spin in action ... http://www.aph.gov.au/Library/Pubs/R...-04/04rn44.htm They appear to now be proposing an excise tax of only 12.5 c per litre, but that leaves them with an energy excise shortfall of 13.4c on LPG. Coming soon to a servo near you. :-) Theo |
