LPG prices

[scarry]

everyones been talking about diesel,& petrol prices of late,what about we talkabout the rediculous fluctuations in lpg price.

today while out doing a few jobs,went past the local caltex,& the price is 75.9c/l.A bit high,price is usually around 63-69c/l.Later in the day ,go past two caltex garages,one opposite the other,on the same road,one is a woolworths,one not.One has a price of61.7c/l,the other 79.9c/l,the most expensive i have ever seen it in Brisbane.

this is an increase (or difference) of nearly 30%:eek:

has anyone else noticed this?

cheers

Yes I too have noticed a gap in prices BP around town seems to vary by the suburb.

I haven't seen it at 79c per litre yet but it sounds like Paradise rd where you are talking about. The shell on Chatsworth rd was 61 last week and BP Springwood 65

I think LPG and Diesel are being used to subsidise petrol

With LPG being $1/l cheaper than diesel here..... I try not to look at it. :(

There are 3 servo's on Chambers Flat Rd, Marsden Brisbane, at least one of them have LPG for 43/44c. When I went past today the Caltex had it for 43c and I think its a Shell had it for 44c then the Mobil had it for 70c. Last week it was Mobil that had it cheap. I cant work it out!

LPG and diesel prices really vary from station to station, ULP not so much. Pays to shop around and know where the normally cheap places are.

We have a new government with this government thought was that they could do something about the exorbitant prices of all fuels.What has happened is sweet .... all . It would seem that no government (except Argentina ) has the balls to take on these multi nationals. The whole thing is nothing but a complete capitulation to the oil moguls of this world....Remember that movie ...the gunless gutless wonders....that's what our goverments are ...both past and present.

Hi all

44c I wish LPG is 67c to 75c here in Adelaide and 4c cheaper if you have a docket why is brisy 23c cheaper than other states when it all comes from the same place.

[djam1]

I dream of 75c a litre I have been paying 99.9c for ages now have also paid upto $1.25

The Kleenheat Monopoly doesnt help Im sure

Mobil servos in Canberra had been running a promotion with prices at 47c /Lt unfortunately this has now ended and their price has gone up about 10c.

I find that LPG does not vary much within a station. Some stations hover around expensive prices (upper 60s-low 70s) while others usually hover around the lower end of the 60s.
Some places I am almost always guaranteed a good price is the Shell on the corner of Kingston Rd and Moss St in Slacks Creek. Also the Mobil? on the corner of Kingston Rd and Compton Rd. The Woolies on Mains Rd and Shell on Mains Rd are usually low too.

The highest I've seen in Brisbane is 71.9c/L Also for whatever reason I have never got a good price on the northside of Brisbane.

I seen that, it's around the corner from home. I had to look twice at that price :eek:

The avg is around the mid 60's, still cheaper than 1.45 p/litre that is thew norm in Brisbane. I'm a big LPG critic and I have to think twice about a conversion now (with $2K rebate that's enticing to say the least). Who cares really, if i can save some $$$ I'm happy regardless.

Havent seen prices in the 40'sc/l for a good few years,but i havent been out chambers flats rd way lately.

you guys were right,the two caltexes i was talking about were on paradise rd,as you can guess,i use the woolys one regularly.
the caltex on the highway side of the hyperdome has had lpg for 75.9c/l for the last few days.

as said i also use shell at top end of moss st,price is usually good.Also find independent on kingston rd near bega rd roundabout also good.

what i cant understand is the % fluctuations in the price.If diesel or petrol prices fluctuated these type of % day to day,we would certainly hear a lot more about fuel prices.

imagine diesel jumping from 1.70c/l to 2.20c/l overnight ,and then back again in a day or two

just my rant

I have to correct myself. The Mobil referred to above was 75.9 on the weekend!
The above nearby Shell was 61.9 though. Gee I wonder which one I filled up from...
