LPG Rip off – ACCC Useless

LPG is a byproduct from the oil refining process, aswell as occurring naturally. Currently it is exported from Australia to the overseas market at approximately 3 cents per litre.

The price of LPG currently varies at the pump from 59.9 cents per litre to 65.9 cents per litre. This practice according to the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Comission) is part of something called petrol discounting, and condones this practice.

Motorists have been warned for a very long time to fill up before the Australian Holiday periods as the price is artificially inflated, by the petrol companies. This is plain and blatant fraud, yet, the ACCC chooses to ignore this long established fact. Could it also indicate that the Corporate Boys are part of another exclusive club?

During Christmas of 2006, a CEO of a Petrochemical company was approached to be interviewed, but ram off without any real comments. This clearly indicated a rat with its tail between its legs.

No one cannot logically explain a 10% price difference in the same product from the same company outlet. A practice that that ACCC will never stop, to the detriment of the motorists.
