Well to be fair, stuff doesn't generally blow up in IT if you do it wrong, it just costs somebody more money and keeps you in your lucrative contract a little longer after you blame it on something else.

It's a fricken great industry!

local and state goverments is more to the point here...... our goverment want us to use gas and its taxing it accordingly.. raising the cost of our gas each year...

the US government have different ideas, maybe it why the war started in the first place ....... more oil for their petrol??

now you can see that price comparison is a really, really small proportion of why a country will choose a fuel over another...

fuel for thought...

You're not making sense at all mate, initially you commented that you thought it was strange that there were not many places in the US selling LPG, people explained that the price difference between petrol and LPG makes it uneconomical to run, thus nobody was running it.
You then said it was not due to the price of LPG, but to do with the availability,
I then explained that the fact that it was not ecomonical to run meant nobody was interested in running LPG, and that is why no gas stations bother to sell it.
Now you've made a few more fairly vague comments about tax, the fact that we export LPG and the war, as reasons why LPG is available here, and not in the US which just makes no sense at all.

Its basic supply and demand, LPG is in demand here and has been for many years, therefore a decent supply network has been created. It is not in demand in the US so a supply network has not been set up.
The reason there is demand for LPG here and not in the US is due to the price, nothing more.

Now the price is certainly influnced by the government, but to say that the price of LPG is only a small factor is just plain incorrect, price is pretty much the only factor.

If you don't have the knowledge to back your rants up with then I'd suggest that you keep your mouth shut.

Why are you getting so upset over something that was easily checked by a simple search engine?

The vast majority of your posts are chronically LPG/CNG fanboiesque and you appear to see yourself as a bit of a guru yet you did not even realise that you need licenses to work with gas and it is ILLEGAL to transfer gas from a domestic storage tank to your car in a domestic property, especially using home-brew equipment.

Are you angry because you are wrong or because it was pointed out to you where other could read it?

I showed you the link to save you from having to learn how to find it yourself. Why don't you read it.........
