Anyone wathcin the news would probly have heard that petrol is tipped to hit a staggering $3.00 a litre soon (how soon?). Will this change how people go about their business? How will this impact you?

Me, im on straight gas and my mum has a company car so were not worried.

its all media hype, it was just one "expert" saying this. all the other experts thought he was a wanker i rekon.

it would effect me for sure, nobody would transport via road anymore so i'd be out of a job and i'd have to buy a bike because the v8 would cost me $150 a week to run.

you cant justify $3 a litre...not for at least 15-20 years when the minimum wage is over $1000 a week and a can of cock cost $6.

lol, yeah lpg is the way to go, although in 2008 they start taxing it. But if petrol has hit three bucks a litre by then it'd probably be even better value. Be interesting to see how the decreasing supply/increasing demand for petrol affects LPG prices, a lot of LPG is actually a byproduct of petrol production. Maybe we could just organise it so that england and various other small countries get no petrol and make all the backstards walk

so... what about those ppl saying LPG won't be worth it when the excise comes in?
our poor cars will gather dust :(
