Sounds like down here Dave..We produce piles of LPG,it gets exported,and we then have to import it from Aussie..

Gas just jumped to $1.179 today that's about $4.46 a US gallon.
Its on its way to the $1.24 a Litre they were talking about.

We are paying $2.19/litre for 91 oct.and about $2.28/litre for 95 octane,which is what the F100 prefers,,but I feed it LPG,have a Rockgas account,and I pay about $1.12/litre for that..Goes okay,just need to build my new engine,and get the compression up a bit to suit..Diesel is $1.69/litre,but its not economical to run a diesel in my opinion,as diesel owners get screwed a road user charge[medium vehicle,about $500 for 10,000 kms,plus the annual registration/licensing has gone up considerably too..Example...New double cab 4wd diesel Nissan,or similar,is about $600 a year..]

Ouch that's about $8.60 NZ Dollars a US gallon for Premium. I'd be running LPG too, at those prices.

NZ$10.26/imp.gallon for 95 octane...Todays exchange rate...NZ$1.33 for an American dollar...NZ$1.37 for Canadian dollar..
My mother lives in Tauranga,which is a 4 hour drive in the F100..When the LPG was installed,I was saving $90 on a return trip,now,its over $100.When the stroker is built,I will be using a little more gas,but the savings will still be there..

$3.79 up a dime from yesterday morning
