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

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

GOOD MORNING ALL!!! WOW!! It is fun starting a new
subject..sure gets the "experts" out! Gee BRUCE, I have been
running my Toyota Corrolla on Australian "autogas for eight(8) years
and my Mitsubishi Campervan on Australian "autogas" for two (2) years
and now I find out that it is NOT "suitable."

Let's see..I pay 62 cents a litre for "autogas" and $1.73 per litre
for petrol(American gasoline) and miles per gallon differences
between "autogas" and petrol and power difference are nearly
negligible to me and over a million Australians utilizing "autogas."

As gasoline goes higher, perhaps WE Americans should start
considering asking the BIG guys about we little guys saving MONEY by
switching to "autogas." Concerning "INSTALLATION" cost...I have not
heard the BANKS complain about putting ATM's everywhere.The American
way is just to pass the costs to us divided by 200 million.

I subscribe to the TEN ways WE CAN do something instead of TEN
reasons why WE can't do something.
NO offense intended. LOL. You all keep them cards and letters
commin!
