If you want to complain, the price of LPG (you know, the "environmentally friendly" stuff the government wanted us all to change to) is even more of a rort, because it doesn't follow trends. A few months ago when the price of unleaded plummeted and went to under a dollar a litre, the price of LPG stayed exactly the same.

And Sydney, like all things, really needs to stop whining. Fuel is CHEAP up there. Only three hours down the road, in the CAPITAL CITY, it's 15-20c more expensive.

.....and your problem is? We were at $1.38 per litre a week ago, today it is $1.08, that is for regular. Why would your government stick their noses into it, with  the cut they make in fuel tax.
