I did use z energy and paid $1.10 a litre. They reviewed there pricing and increased me to 5cent below pump price. I use on average 420 litres a month. My rock gas card has not come through yet but it has being confirmed a I will pay about the same price. No problems when applying but speak to Vanessa . She was very helpful.

I asked Z energy the same Question, WHY, through there call centre. There operator could not answer the question. There is supposed to be a person higher up the ladder to call me about it. 6 weeks later and no phone call.

Agreed. Normal forcorporate culture. As a small business I would have any business if I didn't call back.

hey tara, thanks again but i'm still not clear as to whether your $1:10 was just your 'Joe public drive up off the street' price at the pump, or if that was because you asked them to sharpen their pencil and/or what was the deal with/reason behind the further (!)/5cent price drop (or was it THAT that resulted in the eventual (!) $1:10 price!, and was that using any discount card!

(sorry to be a pain, but i'm keen to get to the bottom of this), what was it that you asked them "why" about!
p.s you must have a couple of lpg vehicles and/or large engines and/or do a fair old mileage to get thru that amount of the sweet-smelling wonder gas.

To qualify for the discount you have to use avolume amount of LPG and 400 litres per month seems to be the figure. I originally used Shell as they had the best deal at the time but when Z energy took over the deal changed. Their pump price in Hamilton is $1.33 so with there discount of 5 cents a litre I had a 18 cents increase. I travel approx 50000 km a year and save around $2500 a year if compared to the current price of petrol. At present I am changing vehicle and Rock gas offer a 12 month interest free loan to swap the gas unit into the new vehicle. This is normal for Rock gas to do this type of deal. If you have a gas installer in your area he will have all this information. My installer is communicating with Rock gason a weekly basis. Hope this helps.

so to get the discounted(!) price of $1:10 did you have to use some lpg card, or did you just ring them and say "i use 400+ litres.p/w, what kind of pay-as-i-go price will ya give me!" !, and/or.did you have to run an account for this!thanks again for.you time and effort to help.

They issue a fuel or lpgcard. You have the choice of paying fortnightly or monthly. As Ihave stated ring the 0800 no. on the web site and make sure you can give a accurate figure of your fuel usage. Should not be any problems. Rockgas is available from Mobil,Caltex and Challenge stations.

yep, i get all that, i'm just a little confused as it seems you were getting lpg for $1:10 p/l and got 5c p/l off another price and both of these BEFORE you got any card (!)-or was it with an old rockgas card and just happens to be BEFORE you get the new contact card!

You can not get the discount unless you have a fuel card.If you pay as you go you will pay the price at the pump.I have always had a card and have never paid the pump price. Z energy reviewed there pricing and I believe it has affected a number of there customers, thats why I am changing to Rock gas.
