The price of LPG has had a fairly sharp rise too. When i started driving, i remember it 15c/l.....its over 60c/l now. Bought the good lady wife a new Holden Cruze diesel that gets 800kms to a tank...we needed a new car so we went with that. Im kinda lucky with my job being a truck driver where the company pays for fuel and i get to drive the truck home everyday. Also makes owning a V8 easier.....but i feel for families that commute to and from work with two cars.....cant be a cheap exercise nowadays.
