Hi acorn,
"Gaseous fuels Gaseous fuels are liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG). Transport gaseous fuels are duty paid and include: LPG or LNG intended for use in an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle or vessel, either directly or by filling another tank connected to such an engine CNG that is imported or compressed for use as a fuel in a motor vehicle – excluding CNG that is compressed at a residential premises using equipment capable of compression at a rate not more than 10 kilograms (kg) of natural gas per hour and not for sale all gaseous fuels for mixed use (that is, both transport and non-transport use) or where the end use is unknown. (source :ATO)
(duty paid = 38.143c/litre and now indexed to the CPI on a 6 monthly basis-thanks to Abbott)
This government is addicted to taxation like the previous Labor Government
If we want to get serious on being fuel self sufficient we need to remove the 38.143c/litre
from LPG & CNG for vehicle use and guarantee this exemption for at least 10 years
to justify the very high convertion costs ($3K for cars & light commercials and about
$50K for heavy vehicles)
It is interesting to note that cars at auction with LPG do not attract a premium price.
I suppose we are still driven by other than our brains !
