less cars : roll on $2 per litre

Is it just my imagination, or are there actually less cars out there?
Seems to me that it is starting to reduce slightly.

Roll on $2 per litre.

And bananas at $20 per kilo.

The joys of living in Mackay. Then again I don't really like bananas.

My wife commutes along Heidelberg Rd (Melbourne) and swears there are fewer
cars around to ruin her daily cycle since the price of petrol sky-rocketed

And why the hell do they decide to massively subsidise conversion to
LPG[1]? By negating one of the most effective limiting factors to car
use they're just delaying the inevitable.

Because Howard is pandering to the masses and buying votes, of course.
Rather than lead (perish the thought ... this federal government?!),
they're just sweeping the problem under the carpet for another 4 years.

Did you hear Howard mention that there are currently damn-all taxes on LPG
(other than GST) and that these taxes will be ramped up until in 2012 they
will be the same as those on Petrol? No? Maybe he forgot he passed
those changes last year?

They appear to now be proposing an excise tax of only 12.5 c per litre, but
that leaves them with an energy excise shortfall of 13.4c on LPG. Coming
soon to a servo near you. :-)
