To give 2 grand rebate will mean that LPG will be subject to a large federal tax (I hear 2008?) to get their money back for sure. I reckon LPG will go up to almost petrol price.
Can other oldies like me remember when the govt tried to get everyone to

Current excise on LPG is $0.02cents per litre, whereas unleaded petrol is $0.38cents per litre.
It is estimated that by 2011, the current excise on LPG will increase expotentially, but not to the same excise level as petrol. So that effectively removes

My LPG tank is up for its 10 year inspection on the VN and is booked in for this Friday. It depends on the brand of tank as to the cost of the removal and testing procedure. If you're pulled over by the cops and they find your tank hasn't been restamped

What the government needs to consider is that because gas is a bi product of petrol, there is only so much to go around. If demand outstrippes supply, you know what will happen. Cheers. Glenn
