While playing on the internet today, it dawned on me that LPG is simply not available in America. The oil companies won't allow it to be explored, much less be a relied-on method of power.
Mind you, petrol (or gas, as they call it here) is cheap - on the order of 50 to 60 aussie cents for a litre.
Calling it "Gas", even though it is clearly a liquid, leads to amusing misunderstandings, when someone proclaims they "got gas on the way over", it simply means they have more petrol, and not a warning to open the windows and stand far, far away.
