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. |

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.

I have three kids who are involved in a lot of activities. It simply can't be done without driving. This petrol hike is killing me financially and the only thing I could do about it is pull them out of their sports, debating, choir, theatre sports, etc. Wishing for that to happen is mean and nasty. The ideal world is one where we have unlimited access to whatever we want, but choose to use only what we need. Donga |

Rather than lead (perish the thought ... this federal government?!), they're just sweeping the problem under the carpet for another 4 years. Ride yer bike ... |

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? Theo |

Seriously, this problem is not going to go away. The world *will* change. |

Choir, debating and theatre didn't exist back then, never did me any harm. Friday |
