hybrid cars are energy efficient compared to diesel or gas powered cars.`,.

The future isn’t a petrol hybrid powered car it’s diesel. Studies have shown that small engined diesels put out a lot less emissions than petrol hybrid vehicles and once you start getting into plant based diesel fuel or similar then emissions would be even lower. Plus the extra energy used to make batteries and then the disposal of them [ then buying new ones} and the associated chemicals the hybrid starts to sound like an environmental disaster and money pit. It’s pointless.
What’s the VW Lupo TDI consumption down to now? Last I heard it was about 2.9l/100km average.

We are hearing a lot about the reduction of unleaded fuel pricing. How many of you out there have noticed the continuing rise in the added margins for high octane fuel??
About 12 months ago we were paying a 6cpl litre for high octane, caltex retained the 6 cent whilst Shell(Coles) went to 8 cpl. Looking At our Local Moss Vale Coles outlet today, they are posting 111.9cpl for unleaded and 124.9cpl for high octane.
The Govt are trying to tell us that we are doing better!! I don’t think so!

They aren’t predicting a massive amount of electric cars, so I think they’ll offer them.

Getting EVs on the road, in small numbers isn’t a problem for any major automaker. It’s getting cost-effective, profitable mass produced EVs on the road that isn’t so easy.

Why have LPG prices also remained high when the wholesale price (Saudi) has recently halved over the past 4 months. Even if you take into account the US-AU$, the buy price has still gone down 30% and I haven’t seen this drop reflected at the pump.?!? More pressure please.
