Why is LPG so expensive to buy in WA if we sell it to overseas for only a few cents per litre?
There is a common misconception that wholesale buyers – either overseas or domestic – are able to purchase LPG autogas for only a few cents per litre. However, the Department of Industry and Resources states that Australia exports LPG to Japan and other countries at ,or above, the Saudi contract price. Some large buyers may be able to gain discounts on the freight components and similar charges due to the volume of fuel bought directly from bulk storage. More information is available from the Department of Resources & Energy and Tourism.
