    ****ed if I know, the pricing has got major tits. A couple of weeks ago it
    was 37 cents around here, and had been for months. Now it's 55.9.

    ****s.

    Why the shit has it gone up so much ?it surely isn't tied into Petrol, we
    produce it here & AFAIK we sell it to Asia
    so we can buy there crap in $2 shops
    why does it just move up with no song & dance , Gov say sod all, Taxi
    companies are the same & all their fleets would be on it
    WTF is going on ??
    I'm bloody annoyed getting a conversion at 49c not long ago, now its 65c &
    climbing

    Not yet.

    When it does, LPG will cease being a viable taxi fuel.

    They think they're being ripped off now. If it goes up another 20c, you
    won't hear the end of the whinging.

    Why does nobody read previous threads on this subject before posting the
    same basic question year after year?

    The AU LPG price is not set in AU. We use "parity pricing", which means that
    the price of LPG in Saudi Arabia is used as the benchmark in AU in the same
    way as the Singapore prices are used for crude.

    LPG is used extensively in heating in the northern hemisphere as well as in
    industrial processing. During the northern hemisphere winter (our summer)
    the demand is higher, so the price rises. The colder a northern winter, the
    higher the price peak...

    Come autumn (northern spring), the LPG demand subsides and the price comes
    back down. Of course, the bottom price in spring is always slightly higher
    than in the previous spring, but it's still a lot less than the summer peak
    price. When this happens depends on when the warm weather kicks in in the
    northern hemisphere...

    Re: LPG

    Get use to it

    Its around the 50cpl here in Melb. and rising [see below why]

    Another item that works on the supply/demand ratio, esp. from
    o/seas.Its also traded in US$ so watch the exchange rate.

    Will come down as it always does latter in the year.I would say it wont
    roll back all that much though, with the traded prices looks like 45cpl
    will be price point [Hope i am wrong on this]

    Been on the up and up since Sept. last year

    For the record it has risen steeply:

    JAN 05'
    Propane AUS $475 M/Tonne
    Butane AUS $484 M/Tonne
    JAN 06'
    Propane AUS $774 M/Tonne
    Butane AUS $787 M/Tonne

    Gets Worse still on the UP....
    FEB 06'
    P AUS$830
    B AUS$837

    This is rather alarming really...

    Anyway less than ULP and Diesel

    or you really believe spivs and their scams are restricted to the 'regional
    areas/bush?
    did I say that ?

    what I did say was "where suburbs have
    competition & independent operators" which leads to more competitive
    pricing
    if you live there you have the choice of filling at point A or driving past
    50 more servo's to one that has a better price
    its called choice Toby

    shows a 5c differential in Perth suburbs , Melb/Syd would no doubt show
    similar trends

    I'm talking about the LPG price, not petrol. :-)

    It's been 69.9 in some places locally in the past few weeks. Last summer,
    the highest I saw was about 67.9. In between, it got down to 42.9 in winter.

    Prove it and the ACCC will sort it out. Oh, you can't prove it...

    > you must live in that other world called a capital city , where suburbs have
    > competition & independent operators


    LOL. Newcastle is _not_ a capital city. The prices here are patchy, just like
    in Sydney. Different part of town, different price.

    They are, but it's not starting until 2011 and even then, it's ramping up
    over time until it's fully implemented in 2015.

    All I can say is who knows what will happen between now and then in terms of
    hybrid cars and new governments changing policy.

    I'm completely aware of the determining factors of LPG pricing and I'm not
    posting the same old question/whinge.

    I was just pointing out the fact that it varied by 12.4cpl within a couple
    of k's.
