I think he means the bushies, who run LPG in the actual AC system.

These prices are plus GST @ greeny fees.

They rang me to see if i wanted some,my answer was thanks but no thanks,as with the stock we have,we shouldn't be buying to much for the next 12 months or so.

Cheers Ean

But any price rises prior to 1/7/12 were not due to the carbon tax.

Anyone have a price on R290?

This might be of interest:
