It's true...according to the RACV it's because of a price rise in
Saudi-Arabian gas - though how that can affect us when we're entirely
self-sufficient in LPG is beyond me...It does always go up in summer
because of the northern winter, but never to this extent before...it's
been continuously above 30c for the past 2 months in Melbourne, which
is unheard of...back in June it was 18.9cpl. Now it fluctuates between
29.9 and 35.9cpl
