    I have a GPS speedo in my Landy and my 49 Dodge , they both went through RWC and VASS inspection .
    they are user programmable , I can adjust the odometer to whatever reading I want to, not that I would.

    Even with a conventional speedo anyone can photoshop the reading they send to VicRoads.

    And of course having a GPS speedo and falsifying documents are both illegal - you might get away with it but I am sure random checks of information will be introduced.

    How can a random check pick it up. GPS speedo clearly not illegal as my car went through VicRoads inspection with one. Not that I would falsify records , just saying its easy to do. Its actually cheaper for me to pay the RUC than the extra $100 rego. Its also cheaper for me to go on Club Rego but I don't, so why sell my soul for a few dollars.


    Also random checks / roadside emissions checks are possible to check for blocked EGR / removed DPF . But its not going to happen unless the Govt gets serious about cleaning up the environment. Again have had vehicles pass RWC & go through rego with removed EGR .

    So the rate is 2.5cents a kilometre,that is until they increase it in the near future,or make commercial vehicles pay more,as they did with Tolls.

    So if your petrol or diesel ICE does around 10l/100 km,you will be paying around double the new EV tax,in fuel excise.

    So the EV driver gets out of it pretty lightly.

    If the EV driver tows or runs around loaded,tax is the same,for the ICE operator,the fuel excise increases dramatically.

    It will be interesting to see where all this ends up in 5 yrs time.

    2.5 c per km is $2.5 per hundred km traveled. Did a calculation in the EV thread for the cost of fuel over 40,000 km for a EV driving instructor. "The current rate is 42.7 cents in excise for every litre of fuel purchased. This rate is adjusted from time to time in line with inflation and is in addition to the GST." Link

    using that number he/we also save $42.7 in fuel tax every hundred km traveled. I'll happily take the $2.5 per 100km tax

    42.7 cents x 10 is $4.27.

    Simples. Give EVs a log book...

    Seriously though, this is another example of why, IMO, car rego ( and road rules ) should really be a matter for the Feds.

    What's full excise on lpg now ........15 cents per litre?

    Costs me about 3 cents per km. I have lots of other ways of spending money faster than that and some of it doesn't have fun involved.

    But its gradually disapearing from Service stations.
    They are also pricing it much higher than it should be at many places.

    Still a fair price at many servos down here. A joke at others.

    The cost of servo lpg tank inspections has gone way up. Excise on lpg introduced. Price of diesel and petrol dropped 10 years ago to a level that made lpg a non economic conversion, especially with some cars getting 5l/100km on petrol or diesel.

    The feds have a bit of responsibility to keep it all reasonable and sensible because they actively encouraged people to convert to lpg with grants.

    Any big increase in the crude price will see servos putting the tanks back in.
