The other great scam with LPG is the 'barbie' cylinder, filled mine on
the weekend at a cost of $12.50 (4.5kg).  I don't know the specific
gravity of LPG (anyone ?) but estimate that 1kg of LPG is about 1.7
litres.  That equates to about 8 lires in a 4.5kg bottle.

At that rate the cost of the gas (at pump prices) is under $4.00.  One
hundred cyc. per week at $8.50, MMMmmm !  The old argument of labour
costs doesn't fair well either, a cyc. fill is a sub-five minute job.
Even the humble old home cyc (80litre) for the stove is only 45cpl
delivered.
