We have the same problem down here,even though we produce part of our own fuel the pollies added a fuel exize,( I think thats how its spelt) so we pay world parity prices.At the moment ULP from $1.22 to $1.36 a litre,and LPG the byproduct of a byproduct is 52 cents a litre.

Thats OK Greg,351 Clevelands are still fairly common over here.I could probably go to the local wreckers and find at least four of them, C4`s are the choice of transmissions with old FORD lovers.
