I think the demise of lpg can also be atributed to hybrid vehicles.
Not sure Australia wide. But almost 95% of taxis here now are either camry hybrids or prius. there is also mote of a trend lately of seeing them more often in battery bar or battery world etc car parks than in petrol stations. My last taxi ride i asked and they said they fill up once a fortnight now sometimes less... 97% of driving is on the batteries they said. It tends to kill them quicker but they sell them off and buy a new car and away they go apparently. The government are helping to subsidize the cost to try and curb a greener city etc. So the taxi companys are running with it. So if you're not seeing the taxis in your servo buying lpg anymore about 95% of sales will have disappeared. So why keep lpg and if building a new servo why spend money to put it in?? Most of the gas instalation shops have closed up now too. Hard to find lpg system spares locally now. |

Most of the ethanol in NSW is from wheat but the producer is switching production to starch as the E content is typically down to 3% in E10.
