Just giving you a (bit of a late) heads up.
If you use kero from the pump, and can find it under $1.60, grab what you can. As of 1-7-06 the federal government put an excise on it. ~38.5 cents, + GST and royalties on top of that price means it's up towards $2 a litre now. How's that for a price jump? Also to LPG users: There's legislation in now for excise on gas, it won't be in for a couple more years though. |
