$2000 goverment grant to convert car to LPG

[Jackson]

Australia has over 60% of the entire worlds reserves of gas used for LPG, also a **** about 90% or something rediculous uranium.

that may have something to do with the idea !

i asked a friends dad last year about conversion to lpg as thats what his business specialises in and he said it would cost $2200, so $200 for a conversion would be pretty good, that included conversion and all necessary dyno tuning, etc

my parents are contracted couriers and for a while now i've known that if you get an ABN then you can claim some expenses on tax, petrol for sure.... now i know its no solution, but it does help to recoup some losses...

there good thing about the ABN is that you dont have to have a business to obtain one, an ABN can be registered to a person, unfortunately i can't remember the price of it but i recall my parents saying that it was relatively cheap

you can also claim on services for the car, lunches stationary etc.... like i said, having a lump payment quarterly can help get by but its no total solution

its actually free!

i applied for one a while back, friends of mine have them, my parents started a busniess not long ago so they got one, my girlfriend had to get one to buy material from certain shops for fashion design

even better then.... i would suggest as many people do that and lodge quarterly BAS statements coz the govt rips us off every minute of every day, mite as well get some back while u can and where u can

You guys seem to forget, the gas sits on top of tho oil, so it comes out first.

Also and most importantly, whatever is taken out of the ground us usually done by a HUGE multinational corp. not 'Australia'. They paid to get it out, THEY own it.

I look at it like this, which is the way they would;
If i have a puddle of water and 5 people dont. When i sell it to them, the MINIMUM price i sell it to ANYONE, is the MAXIMUM that ANY of those 5 will pay.
e.g. A bucket of water to one guy for $5 all the others want to pay $3, BAD LUCK, pay $5 or dont get water.

Let alone if there is only 6 of us with 90% of the puddles, we'd get together call ourselves WPEC and communicate between ourselves to find out who was buying water from who, what price and the maximum we could get, therefore setting the minimum price across the board.

Another way to look at it - Why MUST I sell my water to you at $3 when I CAN get $5 for it elsewhere?

Nothing personal, Just business.

My opinion is....... GET A DIESEL!!!!

Petrol costs the same price yet you get double the amount of kms. There is no conversion cost and the LPG can't be too good for your car too.

+ Diesel has balls as many people don't know.

A mate bought the new VW Golf Mk5 and got the 1.9L Diesel. It rips my car off the line and hammers through 1st & 2nd gear but then the power starts to run out on 3rd. If the diesel in the astra was available to me when i bought my car, i wouldn't of hesitated to get it.

What does everyone thing of Diesel???
