Petrol Power: Voter fury fuels $2000 car subsidy
1points
THE Federal Government will subsidise solar energy and ethanol fuel production and give motorists up to $2000 to convert their cars to LPG - just as a poll reveals a fierce voter backlash to petrol prices and interest rate rises.

Another potentially inflationary rebate from the government? If I was an LPG installer, I’d be putting my prices up…

I think it’s a move in the right direction. Atleast it gets people thinking about making the conversion. In the long run petrol prices are only going up.

How long till the govt ups the tax on lpg to offset this subsidy? Its not like the govt to give us something for nothing- yes im dubious… And why dont we have ethanol blend fuel available in WA yet? I used it all the time in NSW, got great mileage and i swear my car ran better. My wallet was certainly better off too!
