Why is LPG so competitively priced?
As you can see from the prices, LPG can be up to 80c a litre cheaper than unleaded petrol. That’s because in Australia the LPG industry is well established and there is an abundance of supply. What’s more, there is no excise tax applied by the Australian Government. And you really see the difference it can make when savings are measured over the course of a year. For example, if LPG averaged 48.9 cents per litre, while unleaded petrol averaged 125.9 per litre, a Holden Commodore driver travelling just 20,000 kilometres a year on LPG would save $1,384 – the equivalent of $27 per week. That must be the best defence you can get against rising petrol prices!
