Australia may offer $1,000 subsidy for LPG switch
Australia's Prime Minister John Howard may be offering drivers a $1,000 (approximately 767 American dollars) incentive to modify their vehicles to use liquid petroleum gas (LPG or autogas) as part of his energy policy. LPG is less costly than regular petrol (gasoline); Australians would save up to $30 (23 American dollars) weekly after converting their engines.
