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

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

Pete:
Appreciate your comments. I am not an engineer so I do not know
about capacities/volumes etc. However, my 85 liter stainless steel
LPG tank in my Toyota looks about the same size as my 100 litre
Petrol tank underneath my car in Australia. I get over 600 kilometers
out of a tank of LPG.
