LPG price hasn't budged though sadly.

only three and a half years ago, a thread title the same as this would have been met with many angry people...
As soon as petrol passed $1.10 a litre, i instantly said that i was going to give away petrol for good. Nearly three years later and i'm still sticking by my word.

If only they put the price of LPG down back to 30 cents where it was when petrol was around $1 in 2005.

This also prompts the Q, how long does unleaded or premuim or ultimate/optimax last before it starts to go "off" and is it really worth filling up half a dozen 44's to make it viable if it does drop below a buck?
Any Chemists in here with the right answer, not a bunch of shed stories.

Heh filled up with 98 @ 120.9 yesterday morning, ULP was 109.9.
Last night same servo and quite a few around them were 129.9 for ULP ! This morning it was back to 110.9, trying to take advantage of some who just assumed it was still cheap I guess! Quote:
ULP seems to go off in a matter of weeks nowdays it seems, and worse in hot weather.

Yeah I did think of that after I posted actually. But 91 seems to go off real quickly nowdays.
Compared to when we had lead in petrol it would last for years it would seem!
