Default Why is shell hiding LPG prices?

Why is shell hiding LPG prices?

Its a pain not to know the price until you pull up at the bowser.

And if your in a different petrol station than what your used to how are you supposed to know if they if they even sell LPG?

Shell Gas gives you gas if you know what I mean

Strange when driving that gas prices are displayed as 0.00

Maybe they has no fuel I dont know and dont care

Shell gas is IMO not up to scratch

i too have noticed that a lot of shell shops dont display that they sell gas or the price.

even if i know that they have a gas pump i dont pull in if they dont have there price up.

interestingly though ... i just got back from 3 weeks of tripping around ( down to central nsw and canberra) and some of the cheapest gas was from shell servos. toowoomba shell was about 12cents a litre cheaper then any of the other servos i seen.
mudgee shell was 20 cents a litre cheaper than the roadhouse on the edge of town ?????

Probably with so many variations of fuel and prices theres only so many they can put up on their boards. I think by law they have to display unleaded but no sure on the others.

Yeah I've noticed that shell wont display their gas prices. mind you if a servo wont display their gas prices I wont buy from there. Plus I can still find gas at 63c/l here in Melbourne thats close to my place.
