I run without that gov't program now. It takes a total failure just to get the premium back.
    Yeah, it's a bit expensive, going to be glad we had it this year!!! The acres under water are of course the best yielding acres on the whole place!!!

    wasnt this about gas?!

    I think the gas(LPG) story is similar here as it is in NZ as lamin8r said. I have dual fuel on my ute but only really run on gas unless i run out. I know a guy who runs a blown 502 on straight gas and its fine-no need to decompress to boost LPG either!

    straight is better than dual you need to compromise with both to make either work ok. you can get propane over here and it supposably works better or more millage but ive only used it once so not enough to compare.

    we're payin abou 65c a litre compared to petrol at nearly $1.50 per litre-easter doesnt help fuel prices.That is per LITRE so it sounds cheap to you guys! Over here they are running lpg together with diesel to get running costs down on highway trucks but they are combined not one or the other.
