Price Rise

[IanB]

If you really were that concerned with the enviro youd drive a mad pushie.

[Mushroom]

thats shockingly bad my 200 gets 500kms to a tank and its only 60L tank, how big is your tank??

hmmm burning excess gas off sounds like a waste ??

[lilmike86]

gas is still made from crude oil. burns in a similar way and gives off most of the same chemicals. your prob thinking of hydrogen gas not lpg. when the oil goes, so does lpg.

[Ska]

LPG has a much bigger potential of gaining higher power out of it, but I dont believe there is any way to "inject" a gaseous substance......?

[IanB]

The world is going to be an intresting place when the fule runs dry...

Ferrari's for $20!

Double the value of your GTR by filling the tank!

Can you have FI(turbo/super charged) LPG? I think thered be problems with it...

[Revhead]

LPG needs a high compression ratio to realise its full potential. Dual fuel vehicles don't really show off gas because you have to tune it for the lowest denominator. LPG is a much cleaner alternative to petrol and currently it's cheaper, but it seems the govt has already started to dig its claws in there too :\ Bastards. But yeah, rebuild an engine to run on pure LPG and it'll be cleaner and will potentially make more power too. I heard someone had made LPG injectors too, dunno whether it's true or not but effectively having to go back to a carby system (mixers) was always one of the shortfalls of an LPG system.

Milk is the same price here, though we get local milk from the Maleny Dairy... Might have something to do with it

OH GOD you are from or live near Maleny......... God damn fairy HIPPIES!

Yeah, but we have excess LPG and it is cleaner

IanB: Haha, ride a pushie to uni... I'll leave 9pm and get to uni in time for classes at 9am!

Hydrogen isn't viable yet.

I don't know anything about the performance side of LPG. Don't know much about fuel either in regards to performance

Mush: 50L.

The car does have horrible fuel consumption though - living in a hilly area doesn't help. I just can't afford a replacement

Ska: LOL. Maleny is two townships away. About 15 minute drive.

So you are in Montville, oh dear god, an upper-class HIPPIE!

I have no idea whay my posts have to do about this thread but all hippies should be shot, oh yeah and we all should read up on peak oil, it is very interesting subject:

Montville is only one township, bit futher.

It goes Maleny -> Montville -> Mapleton -> Nambour.

Mum didn't want to be as far as Montville I did though. I love it there :>

[IanB]

no, not pushie to uni. Pushie to train station, train to city, pushie from station to uni

[Midol]

There is no train station at USC. (Ok, so it'd take 3hrs to ride, not 6.)

When I go to QUT though I will be taking the train. Might even ride there some days! It's only a 30 minute ride to the station so it aint that far, but the roads arn't made for bikes so I'd probably get hit, lol.

[IanB]

30 mins isnt too long tho, right?

I mean if its a 30 min walk/ride, its not worth driving, didnt you say as much yourself?

[Midol]

Too right it's not far.

Bar the fact the roads have no shoulders to ride in, narrow roads????

I could still, but if I got hit then it'd kind of hurt.

[IanB]

And wouldnt that just be such a shame...

[Midol]

Hell yeah, your precious tax dollars would go to waste on making me better.

At least I could get some money of the insurance from who hits me.

[dangerous_daveo]

Guess what everyone. The petrol was cheaper yesterday than it was today! Because thats what happens.

Low and f*&king behold the earth didnt stop spinning!

And I still got 10kms/L with my headlights on, wipers on, a/c on, and stereo right up driving in the rain.

[Midol]

Bet you it'll stop tomorrow.

[AzzurrA]

i still got 10L/100km of city driving with windows up, headlights on, wipers going, fan blowing etc. using 100RON V-Power Racing

think its about 1.27/litre at the moment

[dangerous_daveo]

Yeah sorry Jason, I did forget to mention that was running on the tears of new born fur seals...
