Thread: Diesel prices!

Just wonder if the difference between LPG and petrol or diesel will be maintained.?
I am considering in fit LPG in my RR 3.5 FI. As it is now it will be cheaper the 3.5 V8 run in gas than my old disco Tdi300.
The question is, if they reduce the gap between the LPG and petrol then the investment never will be recuperated driving less than 20000 km per year.
This is if we allow a 20% increase in consumption of lts per 100Km running on gas against running on petrol.
Cheers

dont i remember hearing at some point that the excise break on LPG will be ending soon? taking it up towards unleaded price?

sorry

Thanks

Currently there is no excise. From July 2011, the LPG excise will be introduced in increments, taking it to a total of 12.5 cpl by July 2015.

Just a quick post to inform and exercise the fingers that deisel at Laverton WA is 1.84.5 , Cosmo where I am is $2.00 Warburton $2.10 been that for a couple of months, Warakuna or Giles also $2.10. Hope this doesn't put you off a trip to desert country. All the best. Linhof

$1.81 in Orange today & heading to Cape York on the 31st May, so whats it going to be up through central Queensland & on the Cape itself, but I am not staying home.

At least I can stretch the kilometres out of a tank with deisel but that must be getting close to balancing out unleaded cost at .20 a litre cheaper than deisel.

Costs probably more than double than the last time I went in 2001...?

Filled up last night in Dickson (ACT) - 179.9 less discount - $220 to fill up. Should have filled up in Yass - 1.4c cheaper.

It is heading to $ 2.20 a liter wholesale by the end of the year as predicted by the oil industry.
Keep the eye on the prices in Singapore. What ever price is there we cope it 2 weeks after here in Oz !
