Dear Euric, No not here. Petrol prices in Australia have been quoted in $/L or c/L since 1974 July 1 and I have not seen any attempt to resurrect the gallon in this or any other context.
Keep in mind that Australia chose the simple conversion table: 1000 millilitres = 1 litre 1000 litres = 1 kilolitre 1000 kilolitres = 1 megalitre for measuring volume and capacity. We did not muddy the conversion waters with centilitres, decilitres, dekalitres and hectolitres, so the transition was straightforward and complete.
