WHY DON'T WE HAVE AUTO GAS AT GAS STATIONS HERE LIKE THEY DO IN AUSTRALIA???

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

Just one more thing, then I have to get to a POKER tourney.
The LPG in my car is LOW PRESSSURE whereas the gas we use at home
in our furnaces and in the HONDA CX is HIGH PRESSURE.
Australian "autogas" is LOW pressure.
